Florida -18.5 vs. FSU (-110)
“New Florida State head coach Luke Loucks said he wants the Noles to play at the fastest pace in CBB. So far, so good. FSU topped 100 points in wins over Alcorn State and Alabama State playing at a frenetic pace. However, teams that play fast against Florida typically don’t live to tell about it,” SportsLine college basketball handicapper Thomas Casale said. “Granted, the Gators lost to Arizona playing that style but the Wildcats have an elite roster. This is a tough spot for a new coach with an entirely new roster going on the road for the first time.” Back Florida at BetMGM Sportsbook now:
Under 174.5 points in Louisville vs. Kentucky (-105)
Pat Kelsey and Mark Pope have quickly put their stamp on these two blue bloods from the Bluegrass State and Louisville and Kentucky have scored 105.0 points and 92.0 points per game, respectively, against lesser competition. However, while both teams are certainly capable of playing at a breakneck pace, expect Louisville in particular to pull back a little bit with Kentucky feeling slightly more comfortable in a track meet. The model predicts that the Under hits in 81% of simulations. Back the Under at BetMGM Sportsbook now:
Knicks -9.5 vs. Grizzlies (-115)
“The Grizzlies look dysfunctional with a capital “D” until both sides realize it’s best for Ja Morant to get out of Memphis and pick up his career elsewhere. Not only are Morant’s numbers down, but his off-court issues in the Bluff City and clashes with head coach Tuomas Lisalo paint a cloudy picture,” legendary handicapper Bruce Marshall said. “Plus the Griz have lost five of six despite a home-heavy schedule the first three weeks. Now also might not be the time to face the Knicks, who hit their stride in the past ten days with four impressive wins on the spin, including consecutive blowouts of the the T-wolves and Nets as new HC Mike Brown is pushing the right buttons, already figuring out proper rotations with his seasoned roster.” Back Chicago at BetMGM Sportsbook now:
