The Florida Gators and Mississippi State Bulldogs face off on Saturday in a college basketball showdown at Humphrey Coliseum.
The Florida Gators have lost Keyontae Johnson for the season and that has been a big loss for the team. Florida has lost two of the last three games and in the two losses they have also failed to cover the spread.In the last game against Ole Miss, Florida’s defense locked down giving up only 63 points and that led to a victory. In the previous game against Kentucky, the offense only scored 58 points and the offense needs to be more consistent. On the season Florida is averaging 77.6 points per game while their defense is giving up 70.9 points per game.Florida is led by Tre Mann who averages 14 points and shoots 64.1 percent from the field and 42.9 percent deep.
On the other side of this matchup is the Mississippi State Bulldogs who come into this game with an 8-5 record overall but they are coming off a loss in their last game against Texas A&M. The offense could only manage 55 points in the last game and that led to the defeat. The Bulldogs are averaging 73.6 points per game while their defense is giving up 66.1 points per game. Mississippi State is shooting 46.6 percent from the field and 38.7 percent from behind the three point line.

Florida is 8-20 against the spread in their last 28 games played on Saturday. The under is 35-17 in Florida’s last 52 games played on Saturday. The over is 7-2 in Miss State’s last nine games played on Saturday. Mississippi State is 15-7 against the spread in their last 22 games played on Saturday/
Florida’s offense hasn’t been as strong as of late and I think there is going to be some struggles scoring in this game. Look for a low scoring game and that is going to lead to this game going under the posted total. Back the under to cash.
