Florida vs. Alabama CBB Prediction:
Take the over. In both matchups this year these two teams combined for over 190 points in each game. Now we get a total in the low 170’s, on a neutral floor. I know the Tide have not shot nearly as well away from Tuscaloosa, but I’m still willing to take my chances. If each team limits the turnovers, this game should have no problem going over.
