Record: 11-13 (3-8)
Best player: Cinmeon Bowers
Line: Georgia -11
Why Georgia will win: Auburn comes in having lost 7 out of 8, many by double figures. The Tigers are going to get better under Bruce Pearl, but the talent isn't in place yet. Georgia put together a really nice game in College Station where they limited turnovers and mental mistakes, and the result was a big 9-point road win. If Gaines and Mann play well for a second game in a row, the Bulldogs should win comfortably.
Why Georgia will lose: Make no mistake: this is a dangerous Auburn team. They went into LSU and won, and they just dropped 87 points on Arkansas in a loss. When they're rolling they can score with anyone. Cinmeon Bowers is a rebounding machine, and KT Harrell is lights out from 3-point land. If either of those guys gets going, it could be a long afternoon.
What I think will happen: I haven't heard yet if Antoine Mason (son of Anthony) will go today. If he does, I don't see Georgia covering a line like that. If he doesn't (and no one would blame him),the Bulldogs should roll. I'll split the baby and say Georgia wins 75-69.
