Florida basketball prepares for its third game of the Southeastern Conference schedule this Saturday in Fayetteville against the Arkansas Razorbacks. Coming off a monumental upset of the Tennessee Volunteers, the Gators are looking to keep the momentum going.
However, their inability to rein in the Kentucky Wildcats in Rupp Arena to open the calendar year has left some doubt as to whether Todd Golden’s gang can dominate away from the O’Connell Center. At least, that appears to be evident in CBS Sports’ expert picks for Saturday’s SEC matchup.
Of the seven respondents on the expert panel, four picked the Hogs straight up — Matt Norlander, Kyle Boone, Cameron Salerno and Isaac Trotter — while Gary Parrish, David Cobb and Jerry Palm picked the Orange and Blue.
“Arkansas opened conference play with two tough draws. The Razorbacks faced No. 1 Tennessee on the road and No. 23 Ole Miss at home,” the summary begins. “Calipari hasn’t dropped three straight SEC games since the 2020-21 season when he was the head man at Kentucky. Florida is coming off an emotional win over No. 1 Tennessee earlier this week. This seems like the perfect storm for Arkansas to pull off the home upset.”

You may have noticed eggs have been limited or hard to come by at the grocery store these days.
For Publix stores in Florida, a company spokesperson confirmed that they are experiencing egg shortages due to an outbreak of avian bird flu, or HPAI, which has created a rise in demand for eggs.
“As a result, items in this section have limited availability,” the spokesperson told NBC6. “We are working to bring these products back as soon as possible. We encourage customers to check back regularly, as our stores are receiving routine deliveries.”
HPAI, or highly pathogenic avian influenza, is a form of avian flu more associated with poultry and wild birds.

According to the USDA, outbreaks of HPAI and facility fires across multiple states in 2024 led to the loss of nearly 40 million egg-laying eggs. Farmers are unable to meet the demand.
According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 134 million wild aquatic birds, commercial poultry, and backyard or hobbyist flocks have been affected by HPAI since 2022.
In Broward County, there have been six reported bird flu outbreaks since 2022, with the most recent one in 2023. In Miami-Dade, there have been eight reported outbreaks, with the most recent one reported in October.
