I'm an NFL handicapper here at Pickswise who was raised in a household full of sports fanatics. Since I unfortunately never had LeBron James' jumping ability I wasn't able to make it to the NBA, and chose writing about sports as the next best thing. An avid sports bettor myself, I'm excited to get to write about the industry as it gets set to take off across the country. Buckle up.

Florida’s season was upended by the shocking medical emergency Keyontae Johnson suffered, but thankfully Johnson is alright and the team has managed the ordeal well. They have four guys averaging at least 10.4 points per game, and a lot of length which will help them defensively in this tournament. They’ve got some glaring issues, including the fact that they turn the ball over nearly 15 times per game despite playing at an average pace. Assuming they get past Virginia Tech in the first round, a very tough game against Ohio State would await.
