These teams met a few weeks ago, with the Tigers winning handily 97-76 on the road. Auburn is one of four teams tied for second place in the SEC, so this game has massive implications for the SEC tournament.

Key Stats
Georgia Bulldogs
The Bulldogs have had a rough season. They rank in the bottom quarter of the nation in basically every statistical category. Noah Thomasson is their leading scorer, averaging 12.8 points per game while shooting 35% from three. However, he has improved in the past ten games, averaging 14.7 points per game during that span.
Georgia is used to being huge underdogs, and this game is no different. It is worth noting that the Bulldogs have covered 16 out of 28 games this year, which is based on the high spreads they have been up against.
Auburn Tigers
The Tigers have had a top-20 offense in the nation this year. They rank ninth in assists per game and 14th in points per game. Johni Broome leads the team in scoring with 16.4 points per game. He also contributes on the defensive end and is averaging 2.1 blocks over the past ten games.
When Auburn are heavy favorites, they have not been able to cover the spread. They are 2-4 against the spread when they are favored by more than 15.5 points.
Game Prediction
Auburn will win this game. Outside of a catastrophic collapse from the Tigers, Georgia does not have the firepower to keep up. From a betting standpoint, the biggest question is the spread. Any time the spread is this high, it is difficult to predict what will happen.
On the one hand, the Tigers should win handily. Does that mean they coast in the final ten minutes, and the Bulldogs close the gap slightly? That’s what I am anticipating. The Tigers win, but the Bulldogs keep it close enough.
Final Pick
Georgia +15.5 and Under 151.0
