College Basketball Odds, Picks: Florida vs Duke, UConn vs Kansas
The college basketball season is heating up, with several exciting matchups on tap tonight. The most highly anticipated of these bouts features two perennial powers in the ACC and SEC - No. 15 Florida taking on No. 4 Duke.
In this must-see matchup at Cameron Indoor, Florida's chances of keeping up with the Blue Devils' star power look questionable. With a new-look backcourt led by Arkansas transfer Boogie Fland and Princeton transfer Xaivian Lee, the Gators will need to bring their A-game if they hope to keep top performer Cameron Boozer in check. Duke has already proven itself to be a formidable opponent this season, with an 8-0 record against non-conference foes.
However, the key to Florida's success tonight may lie not just in containing Boozer but also in utilizing the depth and versatility of its own frontcourt. With Rueben Chinyelu, Alex Condon, and Thomas Haugh all on hand, the Gators have a strong foundation that could help them keep pace with the Blue Devils.
As for picking against Duke is unlikely to pay dividends, especially given the Blue Devils' impressive home record at Cameron Indoor. The reigning champions are well-equipped to dominate tonight's matchup and will likely look to assert their dominance from the outset.
Therefore, Florida +8.5 (-105) appears like a solid pick for those looking to get in on this high-profile showdown.
On the other side of the ledger is No. 5 UConn's trip to Lawrence, where it faces off against No. 21 Kansas. The Jayhawks' recent injury woes have taken some attention away from their talented roster, with guard Darryn Peterson out for tonight's matchup.
Despite this setback, both teams boast a wealth of talent on the court and will likely put on an exciting display in what promises to be a closely contested battle.
For those looking for value, one option worth considering is Flory Bidunga's over 8.5 rebounds ( FanDuel). As long as he can stay out of foul trouble, this talented big man should have no problem reaching that threshold and beyond.
While it may be tempting to take a side in tonight's matchup between UConn and Kansas, staying away from the spread and moneyline markets could prove the smartest play.

, their backcourt is fire 
and Cameron Boozer is straight up dominant 
. But on the other side, I'm loving Flory Bidunga's over 8.5 rebounds, that big man can get some serious boards 
. UConn vs Kansas should be a close one too, both teams are stacked 
.
and florida +8.5 (-105) is def a solid pick 
but uconn vs kansas is gonna be a close one too 
i'm loving flory bidunga's over 8.5 rebounds 
so i looked at the odds for florida vs duke and its crazy they're +8.5 
college hoops is all about upsets & thrilling finishes! as long as u enjoy the game & not just betting 4 fun, thats all that matters 
florida +8.5 might b the right call but i think u should also consider flory bidunga's rebound prop - if he plays clean, he could grab a bunch of boards 
. If I had to pick a winner, I'd say Florida +8.5 (-105) is the way to go 
they might be able to keep up with boozer and duke all day long
I'm all about taking the Gators +8.5, they might as well get a free win
