Florida vs Alabama Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup having fantastic seasons, but Alabama will have the home-court advantage here. The Crimson Tide have lost three of their last five games, but two of those losses were on the road and the other came against Auburn at home. Alabama is the highest-scoring team in the country, but they also play very little defense. Florida lost their last road game against Georgia but bounced back with a great performance against A&M. This should be a very entertaining matchup between two teams that know how to score, but Florida has had some struggles in their last two road games. Take Alabama at home here. 

David Racey's Pick: Alabama -3.5
