The marketplace continues to overrate Florida based on past success. Truth is these Gators aren't very good. That's evident by their 12-12 record. They are 2-6 SU and ATS in their last eight games, falling shy by an average of 7.8 points per game of market expectations during this span.




Florida is off home losses to Kentucky and Mississippi. The Gators fell to Mississippi this past Thursday as five-point favorites, losing by one point on a 3-pointer with 2.7 seconds left. The Gators went all out in that contest and have had only one day to prepare for their trip to College Station. They are 2-7 ATS in their last nine Saturday games.




Texas A&M is a bubble team at 16-7. The Aggies don't look at the Gators as merely a .500 club, but as a long-time power while recalling an embarrassing 33-point road loss to them last year. They won't lack motivation.




The Aggies are 10-2 at home. They catch Florida playing without its leading scorer, Michael Frazier II. He's by far the Gators' best long-range shooter. The Aggies also have covered the past five Saturdays.

(Editor's note: Long-time pro Stephen Nover continues to kill it on the court going 7-2 on his last nine college basketball plays and 4-1 on his last five NBA plays for a combined mark of 11-3. Stephen has his CBB Game of the Week going today in addition to this free selection.)
