Premium Pick

LSU has freshman sensational Ben Simmons but they are suspect on defense, depth and consistency, on a 6-5 run the last 11 games. They lost three of those games as a favorite. LSU also has a losing road mark. They come off an upset over Kentucky but are in an emotional letdown spot against the Gators. Florida is 6-1 straight up at home and comes off an embarrassing loss to Tennessee, 82-69. With both Florida coach Mike White and his players voicing their disappointment over the lack of effort against Tennessee, expect the Gators aggressive defense to reemerge in front of a fired-up crowd and a national TV audience. Florida is #1 in the SEC in defense allowing 63.5 ppg. The Gators are also 5-1 ATS following a straight up loss, so grab the embarrassed home team to win the game. Play Florida on the moneyline.
