Northwestern St. Demons vs. Florida Gators Gambling Prediction & CBB Preview

Demons vs Gators South Region Spread/Handicapping

At one point Florida was in the conversation about the best teams in the nation. They sputtered for a while though which is why they have only a #3 next to their name. There were clearly the best team in the SEC but that might not be saying all that much, especially after they lost in the SEC tourney final to Ole Miss.

Pitt Panthers vs. Wichita St. Shockers Gambling Prediction & CBB Preview

Panthers vs Shockers West Region Spread/Handicapping

All of the advanced metrics say that this Pittsburgh team is really good. They aren’t horrible but I just don’t see it. What I do see is a team that is better than average in the deepest conference in America. They have a few nice wins but this is probably one of the least impressive Pitt teams of the past decade.
