Florida vs. Texas A&M is a battle between 2 of the hottest teams in SEC men’s basketball, and it’s scheduled for Wednesday night in College Station.
The Aggies are a perfect 4-0 in conference play and beat the Gators (who have won 3 SEC games in a row) 66-63 on Jan. 4 in Gainesville.
Wednesday’s rematch is set to tip off at 7 p.m. Eastern time and can be seen on the SEC Network.
Over at Underdog, there are ways to get in on the action by making fantasy picks for Wednesday’s Florida-Texas A&M player over/under stats.

My picks for Florida vs. Texas A&M
We’ll start with the Gators. Specifically, we’ll start with Florida big man Colin Castleton. His over/under on points+rebounds+assists is set at 24.5 for the Texas A&M game. He finished with a total of 21 in the first meeting against the Aggies, but the Gators have been much better as a team since that loss.
In his last 3 games, Castleton’s points+rebounds+assists totals have been 25, 27 and 35. Therefore, I like Castleton’s “higher” option on 24.5 points+rebounds+assists.
Next, let’s talk about Florida guard Kyle Lofton. His over/under for points+rebounds+assists is set at 14.5. That seems too high to me. He finished with 9 points, 2 assists and 1 rebound (a total of 12). In his last 6 games, he’s only gone over 14.5 points+rebounds+assists once. Take the “lower” option for Lofton’s 14.5 points+rebounds+assists total.
Moving on to the Aggies, let’s focus on Texas A&M big man Henry Coleman III. He’s had an up-and-down season, but it seems as if he’s turned a corner lately. He’s posted back-to-back double-doubles against Mizzou and South Carolina, with 10 and 11 rebounds, respectively. I like him to continue that hot streak, so take the “higher” option on 6.5 rebounds for the A&M big man.
How many picks should you make?
The more picks you string together, the higher the “multiplier” or payout. Of course, the more you string together, the less likely you are to win because all of the picks have to hit in order for you to win.
A 3-way parlay of the picks I listed above would pay out $60 on a $10 bet:
If you want to play it safer and go for a 3X payout, I’d suggest eliminating Lofton from the bet and just going with the “higher” options for Castleton and Coleman.
