Florida vs. Mississppi State Pick
STARKVILLE, MS (The Spread) – No. 8 Florida should roll tonight versus Mississippi State but is the spread to large for the Gators to cover? Tip off is set for 8:00PM ET for this SEC matchup. ODDS: Oddsmakers from online sports book Bovada.lv have installed Florida as a 20.5-point favorite over Mississippi State for tonight’s game, while the over/under total is currently sitting at 124 points. The Gators enter play with a 15-2 overall record while the Bulldogs are 7-10. LINE MOVEMENT: The Gators opened as 19.5-point favorites but the line has been bet up since then.

This information is subject to change, however, so make sure you click on the link provided for the most up-to-date public betting numbers. NCAA FREE PICK: Take Mississippi State. According to latest college basketball trends, the home team is 5-0 against the spread in the last five meetings between these two teams while the Gators are just 2-6 against the number in their last eight games versus the Bulldogs and 0-5 ATS in their last five road games against Mississippi State. The Bulldogs have lost three straight games by at least 15 points, including a 96-70 loss to Arkansas on Wednesday. But look for Mississippi State to have plenty of motivation to stay with a top 10 team on its home court. The Gators have been highly impressive in SEC play this season and there's a very good chance that they're going to start 6-0 in the conference. But it's difficult to routinely beat teams by 15-plus points every time out, especially on the road. Look for the Bulldogs to stay within 20 and cover the large spread.
