Florida Gators -1.5
The Ohio State Buckeyes & 23rd ranked Florida Gators will square off at Suncoast Credit Union Arena this Wednesday night in the Fort Myers Tip-Off and I like the Gators to continue their strong start to their season with a victory in this one.
The Buckeyes are 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games, however, are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games. The Gators are 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games, however, are just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Wednesday games.
Ohio State is coming off a strong win against Seton Hall, however, they are not going to win many games if they continue to lose both the turnover & rebounding battles. The Buckeyes have a great scorer in E.D. Ledell, however, he is the only one that is averaging double-digits for Ohio State, and I think that is going to be trouble against a Florida defense that comes into this game ranked 16th in scoring offense & 45th in defensively FG%.
Florida is the more balanced team with the trio of Colin Castleton, Myreon Jones, & Tyree Appleby leading the way and I think Florida wins this one by 5-7 and cover this small spread. Good Luck!
