If there’s one team that can meet the physicality inside with the Gators, it’s Arkansas. The Razorbacks have a potent offense that can compete with anyone in the nation. Everyone talked about Florida’s guards all season and while that tandem is excelling defensively, their offensive production is still inconsistent. Arkansas has the more efficient guard play and the bigs inside to battle with the best front court in the country.

The ability of Arkansas guard Darius Acuff to create offense against Florida's backcourt should be able to keep Arkansas in the game enough to cat-and-mouse this game script up into the 80s. Florida's advantage on the boards is one reason we see the spread so heavily in the Gators favor, but that also creates more possessions and scoring opportunities for the total.

I don't bet a lot of totals but think this number should be north of 170. The Hogs are playing at a blistering pace right now. Led by freshman sensation Darius Acuff (22.2 PPG), Arkansas has four players scoring in double figures. Florida has the No. 1 defense in the SEC by a mile but Todd Golden has shown he will run when teams want to play fast. The Gators averaged 92 points in five wins over Georgia, Vanderbilt, Alabama, and Texas A&M - All teams that rank top 80 in tempo. The key number here for me is 80. If Arkansas reaches 80 points, this bet likely cashes. The Hogs have hit that total in 12 of 15 SEC games. Bet up to 167.5.
