We’ve got an SEC showdown tonight with Florida vs Bama, and both teams are fighting for a double bye in the SEC Tournament. Florida comes in at 25-4 (12-4 SEC), while the Tide sits at 23-6 (12-4 SEC). Both teams are elite offensively: Alabama leads the nation in scoring at 91 ppg, while Florida is right behind at 83.8 ppg, and with so much on the line, I expect to see a battle tonight.
The last three games between these teams have averaged 191 total points, and Alabama has gone over 90 points in 7 of their last 12 games, including multiple 100+ point performances. Florida has put up 85+ in five of their last eight, and just dropped 89 on Texas A&M. Alabama ranks #1 in tempo, pushing the pace at every opportunity, and Florida plays fast too (76th in tempo, 4th in adjusted offense). The Tide’s defense is the worst in the SEC (allowing 80 ppg), meaning Florida should have no trouble scoring, while Alabama will get their points regardless. Everything points to a fast-paced, high-scoring shootout.
Over 178.5 is the bet.
