Game card: Vanderbilt

Opponent:  Vanderbilt
Mascot:  Commodores
Primary color(s):  Black and gold
Record:  11-4 (1-1)
Best player:  Damian Jones
Line:  Vanderbilt -2

Why Georgia will win:  Even shorthanded, Georgia is better than Vanderbilt.  The Commodores played Baylor close at home but haven't done much else to impress.  Meanwhile, if nothing else, Georgia is battle tested with two close losses to some of the best teams in the SEC.

Why Georgia will lose:  Where were you February 4, 2006?  That's the last time Georgia won in Nashville.  On top of that, the Bulldogs are desperately shorthanded, and Damian Jones was going to be tough to handle with Yante Maten in the lineup.  If Parker can't go either, it essentially leaves Mark Fox with 6 rotation players.

What I think will happen:  All week I had planned on picking Georgia.  Circle the wagons and whatnot.  I can't do it.  Vanderbilt wins 68-63.

What I hope will happen:
