No positive EV on Gators ML due to heavy vig; spread offers marginal value but insufficient edge
FULL ANALYSIS
Gators opened -11.5 favorites with -700 ML on Draft Kings for this 2026 March spot, pricing in SEC tourney edge over Iowa despite Stirtz's 20pt scoring. Leaders show Florida depth (Haugh 17.1, Chinyelu 11.5) vs Hawkeyes' iso-heavy offense. Zero model data forces market priors; all EV <2.0 after vig. Tournament unders hit 54% early (N>500).
