Plenty of action on this Wednesday night in college hoops including an SEC matchup between Florida and Alabama.

Nonetheless, in our college basketball best for today, we’ll focus on our Alabama-Florida betting pick.

College Basketball Best Bet: Alabama-Florida Betting Pick
I don’t smell upset at all here and I’m backing Alabama -8.5 in this spot to win convincingly and cover this number. They are an electric offense, averaging 83 points per game and take a ton of three point shots. That does create variance but at home with all their weapons it’s a huge ask to think Florida can slow them down. Since their no show against Oklahoma they beat Vanderbilt by 57 points then went on the road and beat an average LSU team by 10. This is a step up but in their building they will be ready.
For Florida they are a 13-10 team looking for a marquee win, but this is as tough of spot as you can get. They just were on the road at Kentucky so they are in the toughest part of their conference schedule. They don’t play nearly as fast and given Alabama’s swarming defense I don’t know how much production they can have in the half court. I will call for Alabama to get it done on both sides of the ball in route to a comfortable double digit victory at home.
