The #14 Florida Gators (15-4) have had a nice season so far, but they have a bit of a challenge on their hands in Thursday’s 7:00 PM ET college basketball game on the road against the Mississippi Rebels (13-6).
Florida has gone just 1-4 in true road games this year, and they’ll be taking on a Mississippi squad that is a perfect 9-0 when playing at home.
Despite the difference in home and away records between these squads, Las Vegas still has the Gators as a 6-point favorite.
Even more surprising is that they’ve been bet up from an opener of -5.5 thanks to 60% of tracked wagers coming in on Florida.
The total in this one started off at 135 but has been bet as high as 138.5 as of this time.
