Florida Gators

On the road

Florida went 8-2 in true road games and covered nine. The only miss was a 76-74 defeat at Missouri on 3 January at -325; the other road loss, 67-66 at Duke with the Gators getting 9.5, was a cover. The 10 road games made 0.62 units on the moneyline, because the prices were short: -1100 at South Carolina and at Ole Miss among them.

Twelve straight

From 28 January to the SEC quarterfinal on 13 March the Gators won 12 in a row and covered 9, after a November in which they covered once in seven. A unit on each game of the run made 2.23.
