Gotham Style Pick 'em: Gators vs. Aggies

The 19-12 Gators face off against the 20-11 Aggies. We lost the first one on the road by a point. Can we get this musty (as in a game we must win) for starters in the SEC? This might come down to Brent's ability to catch a fish on the west coast. If yes, we just might be able to take some momentum into the Auburn game (optimism . . . ).

Pick the score, the MVG, and the Stat of the game (SoG). The SoG will be steal differential. A&M ranks first in the SEC with 320 steals (10.3/game). The Gators rank fifth, with 250/8.1. If you think A&M will be better by two, just type -2 (or +2 if you think the Gators will have more steals).

• Closest to the score = 2pts
• Pick the Gator score = 1pt
• Pick the opponent score = .5pt
• Pick the MVG (per Value Pt Scoring) = .5pt

 

Gators 66
A&M 71
Mvg CC
SoG -4

 

Great comeback, but this team's weaknesses were once again exposed. The SoG was key. A&M averaged 10 steals/game and got 15 against the Gators (we got 9 steals, so SoG was -6). Part of the bottom line is that the Gators don't have a reliable PG and the PF is passive, not only when injured - has been passive throughout the conference season. We're just not gonna win games when our starting guards go 1-for-10 and score two points. Crikey, we were lucky to get to O/T. Lane makes an appearance as top performer. Great game Neils!
