Point Spread: 8.50 | -106.00 Florida (Away)
Result: Win
This is an 8* ATS SITUATIONAL BEATDOWN on Florida.

For a number of different reasons I like the Gators to at the very least keep this one close enough to sneak in through the back door down the stretch with what I believe is a healthy amount of points afforded to them in this one. I think Kansas, who has won four straight (both SU and ATS), comes in a tiny bit complacent here, the opportunity that Florida (and us!) is looking for. Kansas would beat Michigan State 61-56 on Nov. 30th to win the Orland Classic title; the Jayhawks are averging 69.2 points and outrebounding their opposition 40.8 to 33.0. In all, nine players average 10 or more minutes per game for Kansas. Florida is just 3-3 on the season, but I think will be prepared today. The Gators average 63.5 points and have a +3.8 scoring margin; they're also outrebounding their opposition 37.7 to 33.0. This is of course a revenge game for Kansas after Florida beat it 67-61, but note that the Jayhawks are a poor 16-20 ATS in their last 36 non conference contests, while the Gators are a great 5-2 ATS in their last seven after failing to cover the spread in three or more consecutive games. This is just a few too many points to be giving up here in my opinion, grab as many points as you can with FLORIDA.
