SAN FRANCISCO – The Florida Gators are seven-point favorites in the Sweet 16 against the Maryland Terrapins and are a great bet to win outright.

They may not have covered the spread set by legal sports betting sites against Connecticut, but they have proven that they can win close games.

Maryland, on the other hand, struggled to move past Colorado State in the round of 32. The Terrapins were favored by 8.5 points but relied on a buzzer-beater by Deriq Queen to move on in the tournament.
