How to make Florida vs. Alabama picks

SportsLine’s model has simulated Alabama vs. Florida 10,000 times and is going Under on the total (174.5 points). The Under is on a run for both programs as each team has failed to reach the total in each of its last three games. That is simply par for the course for the Gators, as the Under is 13-8 for them this season, with 70% of their home games going under.

As for Bama, the controversial return of 7-foot center Charles Bediako has fortified the defense. The Tide have allowed just 71.5 points in his two games, compared to giving up 85.0 points over their first five SEC games. Also, both teams protect the rim like few others as each ranks in the top 20 in blocks per game. The model projects a combined total of 171 points as the Under hits in well over 50% of simulations.

The model also says one side of the spread hits nearly 60% of the time. You can only see that pick at SportsLine.
