The Georgia Bulldogs host the No. 14-ranked Florida Gators in NCAA hoops action on Wednesday night.
The Bulldogs are getting crushed on the glass in conference play, which is why my Georgia vs. Florida predictions are backing Thomas Haugh to have a busy day on the boards.
Here are my best free college basketball picks for this SEC clash on February 11.
Florida vs Georgia prediction
Florida vs Georgia best bet: Thomas Haugh Over 6.5 rebounds (-115)
The Florida Gators lead the country in rebounding rate (60.3%) while the Georgia Bulldogs have a rebounding rate of just 45.7% in SEC play.
The Bulldogs rank just 336th in defensive rebounding rate, and that, combined with their blazing-fast pace, will lead to plenty of opportunities for the Gators on the glass.
Forward Thomas Haugh is Florida's best player, and he averages 17.8 points and 6.4 rebounds per game. He's eclipsed 6.5 boards in seven of his last 11 contests, including a 12-rebound performance against UGA when these teams previously clashed in January.

Florida vs Georgia same-game parlay
The Gators beat UGA 92-77 when these teams played in Gainesville on January 6. The O/U for that contest was set at 172.5, and the shift to 164.5 looks like an overreaction given that both teams play at an extremely fast tempo and are highly efficient inside the arc.
Florida is 8-1 straight up and against the spread in its last nine, while Georgia has dropped three of its last four. With the Gators leading the SEC in both adjusted offense and adjusted defense during conference play, back them on the moneyline here.
