Gators vs. Vanderbilt Odds & Betting Predictions - January 17, 2026

I liked UF to win outright before Vandy went down to Texas, now I’ll just take the points. Florida has shown me high-end play against elite teams this year, one-point loss at Duke, 4-point neutral site loss to UConn where they led with under 8 to play. They have the elite rebounding on both ends, to hurt the Commodores on the glass. They don’t give up much inside the arc, they just need to avoid a 15 3PT night from Vandy to hang around. And we need to acknowledge for a moment this Vandy schedule to this point. 133rd Non-Con SOS, and Net SOS is 35th. Florida’s is 5th. The Dores haven’t played in a sweaty, end of game situation since mid-December. Florida has the receipe if they kill them on the glass.
