Florida Gators vs Georgetown Hoyas Point Spread Picks

This is a marquee matchup with the Big East and SEC clashing on the U.S.S. Bataan in Jacksonville, as the No. 10 ranked Florida Gators take-on the Georgetown Hoyas. Florida has won 21 consecutive season openers and is not afraid of this conference, as the Gators are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 against the Big East. Georgetown wasn't the strongest team in the Big East last season in terms of scoring (69.0 points per game), and faces a terrific Florida defense. Florida is loaded, with three starters back. Junior center Patric Young (10.2 points, 6.4 rebounds), senior forward Erik Murphy (10.5, 4.5) and senior guard Kenny Boynton (15.9 points) have more than enough support with four other key players returning, including junior forward Will Yeguete (4.4, 6.3), a Florida Air grad who missed the postseason with a broken bone in his foot last March. The Gators are 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall, 4-1 ATS in their last five neutral-site games. Florida is also 4-1-1 ATS in their last six non-conference games. Play on Florida.
