Betting Pick & Score Prediction

These are both really good basketball programs. In saying that, both teams were not expected to be in the Sweet 16. The Gators have been overlooked all season, and have the ability to beat almost anyone. Florida is just two wins away from the Final Four. They have not been there since winning back to back titles. Wisconsin has been there and done that in this situation. It’s amazing what Wisconsin continues to do, with arguably less talented. Despite saying that, this Wisconsin team has guys that can score, and definitely know how to win big games. Florida gets the best of the Badgers in this one. The final bet is the Florida Gators -2 over the Wisconsin Badgers.
