Florida vs. Georgia Key Player to Watch
- Jeremiah Wilkinson, G - Georgia Bulldogs
Jeremiah Wilkinson leads Georgia in scoring this season, averaging 17.1 points per game, but he also makes a significant impact defensively, leading the team in steals per game at 1.8. He's their main scorer, and if he gets hot with his shooting, Georgia has a chance to contend against any and all teams in the SEC.
Florida vs. Georgia Prediction and Pick
In today's edition of Daily Dunk, I wrote about why I'm taking the points with Georgia in this SEC showdown:
I don't think there's enough evidence to justify Florida being a 9.5-point road favorite in this game. The two teams rank 77th and 129th in effective field goal percentage, with Georgia holding the advantage. They also rank 21st and 46th in defensive efficiency, with a slight edge to Florida. In the advanced metric, effective possession ratio, Florida has another slight advantage, ranking second compared to Georgia at 14th.
These two teams have the same record this season, similar metrics across the board, yet the Gators are 9.5-point road favorites? Something isn't adding up for me. I'll take the points with Georgia.
Pick: Georgia +9.5 (-110)
