Final Four 2025: Picks and Hot Takes for the Final Four (Fifth Round)

Auburn Tigers vs. Florida Gators

Odds: Florida is a 2.5-point favorite, but we think Auburn is the better team.

Pick: Auburn

Hot take: We know the Gators beat Auburn in the regular season. But, Auburn plays on a different level than the Gators right now. The Gators almost lost to Texas Tech and had an insane rally — don’t expect Walter Calyton Jr. to do it again against All-American Johni Broome.

Duke Blue Devils vs.Houston Cougars

Odds: Duke is a 4.5-point favorite.

Pick: Duke

Hot take: Houston, your fraudulent run is over. You’ve had easy matchups all season. It’s time to see if you’re really better than Duke (unlikely).
