<p>Two weeks ago, Texas A&amp;M opened SEC play with a close road win over Florida.</p>
<p>Tonight, the Aggies (12-5, 4-0 SEC) will look to move to 5-0 in conference action as the Gators (10-7, 3-2 SEC) have a rematch at Reed Arena in College Station (7:00 pm ET/6:00 pm local time, SEC Network).</p>

<p>That loss was the Gators’ second straight to open their SEC slate, but they have not lost since, picking up wins over Georgia, LSU, and Missouri.</p>
<p>Which team will pick up the win in the rematch? Read on for our Florida vs Texas A&amp;M prediction, as well as our picks and betting analysis for tonight’s clash in College Station.</p>

<h2 id="9dqcr">Will Texas A&amp;M Ride Another Fast Start to a Season Sweep of Florida?</h2>
<p>When the Aggies and Gators met two weeks ago, Texas A&amp;M jumped out to an 11-point lead at halftime, and they made that hot half hold up despite a second-half rally by Florida.</p>
<p>Fast starts have been a feature of each of A&amp;M’s SEC wins.</p>
<ul>
<li>at Florida (won 66-63): led 34-23 at halftime</li>
<li>vs LSU (won 69-56): led 34-23 at halftime</li>
<li>vs Missouri (won 82-64): led 43-25 at halftime</li>
<li>at South Carolina (won 94-53): led 50-18 at halftime</li>
</ul>
<p>Where Texas A&amp;M has been a strong in the first half, Florida has been strong in the second half in its win streak.</p>
<ul>
<li>vs Texas A&amp;M (lost 66-63): outscored Aggies 40-32 in the second half</li>
<li>vs Georgia (won 82-75): outscored Bulldogs 43-41 in the second half</li>
<li>at LSU (won 67-56): outscored Tigers 42-28 in the second half</li>
<li>vs Missouri (won 73-64): outscored Tigers 45-36 in the second half</li>
</ul>
<p>On Saturday against Mizzou, the two teams were tied at halftime, but perimeter shooting helped UF pull out the win.</p>
<p>The Tigers went into the game shooting 36.1% from three, but they were only 3 of 18 (16.7%) from outside against the Gators, including 2 of 9 (22.2%) in the second half. </p>
<p>The Gators, meanwhile, connected on 10 of 23 (43.5%) from three, including 6 of 13 (46.2%) in the second half.</p>
<h3 id="3154j">First and Second Half Offensive Splits for Florida (SEC Games Only)</h3>
<ul>
<li>First Half: 48 of 128 (37.5%) FG, 13 of 57 (22.8%) 3PT</li>
<li>Second Half: 64 of 123 (52.0%) FG, 19 of 51 (37.3%) 3PT</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="1qobn">Florida vs Texas A&amp;M Prediction and Picks</h2>
<p><strong>Florida vs Texas A&amp;M Prediction:</strong> Texas A&amp;M to win</p>
<p><strong>Florida vs Texas A&amp;M Picks:</strong> Texas A&amp;M first half -1.5 (Best Value: <a href="https://affiliates.bettingnews.com/register/betonline/">BetOnline</a>) &amp; Florida/Texas A&amp;M second half over 72.5 (<a href="https://affiliates.bettingnews.com/register/bovada/">Bovada Sportsbook</a>)</p>
<p>The Gators have done well to get things back on track after an 0-2 SEC start, but I’m backing the Aggies to start strong again and ride that strong start to a fifth straight win and a regular season sweep of UF.</p>
<p>I am leaning towards backing the over in this matchup, but I see better total value elsewhere on the board. </p>
<p>Instead of taking the over for the full game, I am going with the over for the second half total, given that the second half has been the highest-scoring half in every SEC game for both the Aggies and Gators.</p>
