It is a Tuesday night SEC battle as Florida visits Tennessee. It is time to continue our College Basketball odds series with a Florida-Tennessee prediction, pick, and how-to-watch.

Tennessee comes into the game sitting at 12-4 on the year and ranked fifth in the nation. After opening 4-0, and then a three-game losing streak with losses to Purdue, Kansas, and North Carolina, Tennessee has been solid. They won eight straight after that, but that would be broken by Mississippi State. Tennessee led most of that game but would fall late into the game. Last time out, they faced Georgia. Tennessee would hold a 14-point lead in the first half, but be up just five at the half. Georgia would take the lead in the second, but Tennessee remained steadfast, making them come back and winning 85-79.

Meanwhile, Florida comes in at 11-5 on the year. After opening the year 10-3, they have had some struggles in SEC play. First, it was a two-point loss to Kentucky. In that game, Florida led at the half, but the second half would be back and forth Florida could never retake the late lead. The next game was an 18-point loss to Ole Miss, but they rebounded last time out, winning by 22 over Arkansas.

Final Florida-Tennessee Prediction & Pick

This should be an entertaining game. Florida has a great offense but it is not as efficient. It relies on a high volume of shots playing at one of the fastest tempos in the nation. Tennessee still plays quickly, but not nearly as quickly as Florida. Meanwhile, Florida has more rebounds this year, but they also give up more, a symptom of their fast pace of play. Still, in rebound percentage, Florida is better. The major difference here is the defense. Tennessee has a solid defense, while Florida is one of the worst in the nation. That will be the difference in this game. Tennessee will come away with a win in this one.

Final Florida-Tennessee Prediction & Pick: Tennessee -9.5 (-110)
