Florida vs Michigan Final March Madness Betting Analysis

Florida looked great when beating favored Nevada straight up in their round one game, but they face a serious uphill climb against the Michigan Wolverines on Saturday. Michigan has lost only 3 games in their last 10.

All 3 losses were to the rival Michigan State Spartans. The final loss happened in the Big Ten Tournament where the Wolverines blew a 7-point lead late in the game. Florida can match Michigan’s intensity on defense, but they’ll have a heck of time scoring points the way the Wolverines can on offense.

Michigan State is Michigan’s kryptonite, not Florida. Expect the Wolverines to blow out the Gators on Saturday.

2019 March Madness Pick: Michigan -7
