NCAA Basketball Betting: Southeast Regional - BYU vs. Florida Thursday, March 24th, 7:15 EST       – BYU and the Jimmer Fredette show will be in New Orleans on Thursday night to play the Florida Gators in a Sweet 16 matchup. A lot of brackets predicted this matchup as BYU is the third seed while Florida is seeded second. Even though opponents know that Fredette is going to shoot almost every time he touches the ball, they still can’t stop him. In BYU’s opening round win over Wofford, he netted 32 points and followed that up by putting up 34 points in their rout of Gonzaga. Can Florida find a way to stop this kid? It’s been pretty well publicized that BYU has been playing without their starting center Brandon Davies as he was dismissed from the team. With Davies gone, BYU struggled in their conference tourney final, getting drilled by San Diego State, but they’ve still been able to get to this round of 16. BYU has not been a good team at the betting window this season. They come into this game against Florida with a negative betting line record of 15 wins and 17 losses. In the NCAA Tournament they failed to cover in the opener beating Wofford by eight points while laying nine points. However, they fooled most in their win over Gonzaga beating the Zags by 22 points as only 1-point favorites. Florida came into this tournament flying under the radar. Not many had them making it to the Final Four and most thought they were overseeded. After winning the NCAA Tournament in 2006 and 2007 they haven’t done much since. They won the SEC regular season title this season but disappointed in the SEC tournament getting manhandled by Kentucky in the final 70-54. The Gators betting line record this season isn’t that great. They were above .500, but just barely at 16-14. Florida did play some tough opponents in their non-conferences games. They faced two teams still alive in the NCAA Tournament, losing to Ohio State and beating Florida State. The offshore sportsbooks have Florida as a slim three-point favorite. They are looking for a high scoring game as the betting total is a lofty 149 points. Florida’s head coach Billy Donavan brings some valuable tournament experience to this game. In his tenure at Gainesville, the Gators are a very profitable 25-14 against the betting line in post season tournaments. However, is Donavan’s experience more valuable than Fredette’s scoring ability? This game is being played in New Orleans and Fredette might bring back some Pete Maravich memories to the old time New Orleans basketball fans.   Need help deciding whether to play chalks or underdogs in any of today's action visit the Guaranteed Picks Page for winning selections 100% GUARANTEED TO WIN OR YOU DON'T PAY!
