Game card: Auburn

Opponent:  Auburn
Record:  12-18 (4-13) 
Best player:  KT Harrell
Line:  Georgia -6

Why Georgia will win:  Georgia is better than Auburn, and they still have something to play for.  While the Tigers are playing out the stretch, the Bulldogs are fighting for a tournament berth.  Georgia may not have beaten Kentucky, but they should have seized some confidence and momentum from the game.  If so, they'll win easily.

Why Georgia will lose:  Auburn's last win was...at Georgia.  Kenny Gaines almost certainly won't play in this game, either, and that means KT Harrell will probably get loose.  He's a guy you just can't afford to leave open.  Georgia is probably in the tournament no matter what, so they may not be mentally checked into this one.

What I think will happen:  With or without Gaines, Georgia should win this game.  Auburn has been a house of horrors, though.  Tigers win again, 68-65.
