Tennessee vs. Florida College Basketball Prediction

The favorite has cashed in eight of the last 10 meetings between these two teams and while the home team is a profitable 7-1 against the spread in the last eight meetings, I’m backing Tennessee tonight. The Vols are 7-2 against the spread in their last nine games following a win, are 8-3 against the number in their last 11 games overall and are 5-2 at the betting window in their last seven road games.

Meanwhile, the Gators are just 2-5 against the spread in their last seven games when facing a team with a winning percentage above .600 and are 2-8 at the betting window in their last 10 home games when facing an opponent with a road winning percentage of greater than .600. Florida has also dropped nine of its last 11 games ATS when playing at home versus an opponent with a winning road record of any percentage.
