The set-up: This is a battle of the SEC for the Big 12 in the Jimmy V Classic and while these teams are very adept defensively, I think this one will sneak "over" the number once the final horn sounds. The Gators come in off a 98-66 beatdown of North Florida, while WVU enters on top form having won four straight. Florida averages 71.7 PPG and it allows 62.4. WVU averages 86.4 PPG and it allows 75.9.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but WVU has seen the total go "over" the number in its last four vs. the SEC and in four of its last five neutral court games when the total is set between 140 to 144.5, while Florida has seen the total go "over" in seven of its last 11 after a cover as a double digit favorite. Play the the "over."

10*
