The Florida Gators (20-6) and Ole Miss Rebels (11-5) square off in a battle of teams heading in two different directions. Tip-off is scheduled for 12:00 PM ET at The Sandy and John Black Pavilion at Ole Miss on ESPN.
Florida has rattled off six straight wins, while Ole Miss has dropped eight straight and is a daunting 13.5-point this afternoon. Will the Gators remain in sole possession of first place in the conference? Our deep-dive analysis breaks down the key angles for this matchup.
Florida vs Ole Miss Picks & Predictions
The defending national champions are strong favorites heading into this game, winning their last six games by an average margin of 22 points. They’re also the best rebounding team in the conference, and their size will undoubtedly exploit Ole Miss’s biggest weakness.
Spread Pick: Florida -13.5 (-102 at DraftKings)
The Rebels had a tough time keeping Texas A&M off the glass in their last game. They surrendered 13 offensive rebounds for 18 second-chance points while being outscored 50-34 in the paint. That’s a recipe for disaster against center Rueben Chinyelu and junior forward Alex Condon, who is in the midst of a late-season surge.
Player Prop Pick: Alex Condon Over 20.5 Total Points + Rebounds (-108 at FanDuel)
Condon has logged two consecutive double-double performances, recording 20 points and 10 rebounds Tuesday against South Carolina and 14 points with 11 boards last Saturday against Kentucky. If you factor in Chinyelu’s 12.0 rebounds per game, there won’t be many second-chance opportunities for Ole Miss. They will need to capitalize on every possession to stay within reach in this one.
Florida vs Ole Miss Tale of the Tape
Key Mismatch: As mentioned above, Florida will likely dominate the glass, averaging over 12 more rebounds per game than Ole Miss.
