The Georgia Bulldogs and Auburn Tigers meet on Saturday in college basketball action at Neville Arena. Here’s a Georgia vs Auburn Prediction. This article will include a Georgia vs Auburn Pick.
Georgia Bulldogs Betting Preview
The Georgia Bulldogs (16-10, 12-14 ATS) are not playing well at the moment. Competing in what is widely regarded as one of the most challenging conferences in college basketball history, the Bulldogs have suffered defeats in their last seven encounters with ranked teams, all of which occurred during conference play. Following their home victories against Kentucky and Oklahoma in early January, the Bulldogs have experienced a decline, losing eight out of their last ten games, with victories only against the two weakest teams in the SEC, LSU and South Carolina.
Georgia is averaging 75.0 PPG (160th) and is allowing 68.2 PPG (71st). The Bulldogs are getting 36.9 RPG (120th) and are having 13.0 APG (254th). Asa Newell is the team’s top scorer with 15.3 PPG, along with a team-high 6.8 RPG, 1.2 SPG, and 1.1 BPG. Silas Demary Jr. adds 11.9 PPG with 4.0 RPG, a team-high 3.2 APG, and a team-high 1.6 SPG, while Dakota Leffew has 10.3 PPG.
Auburn Tigers Betting Preview
The Auburn Tigers (24-2, 16-10 ATS) were on a fantastic 14-game winning run before a home loss to Florida came. Nevertheless, the best team in college basketball bounced back with three consecutive victories, defeating Vanderbilt, Alabama, and Arkansas, two of which were on the road. The Tigers are pursuing their fifth SEC regular-season title and their second No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament since the inception of seeding in 1978.
Auburn averages 84.4 PPG (7th) and allows 68.1 PPG (70th). The Tigers are 47th in rebounds (38.6) and 40th in assists (16.6). Johni Broome leads the team with 18.0 PPG, 11.0 RPG, 3.4 APG, and 2.6 BPG. Chad Baker-Mazara follows him with 12.4 PPG, 3.4 RPG, and 1.2 SPG; Tahaad Pettiford averages 11.3 PPG, while Miles Kelly, Denver Jones, and Chaney Johnson are all double-digits in scoring.

Georgia vs Auburn Prediction
Auburn owns Georgia in recent H2H encounters; the Tigers won six of the last seven duels and are on a four-game winning streak. Auburn narrowly defeated Georgia a month ago on the road, but at home on Saturday, I don’t think the Tigers will have any issues.
Auburn is 11-1 at home while Georgia is 1-6 on the road, and that away win came against Georgia Tech back in mid-November. The Tigers are 16-10 ATS, and I firmly believe they will put this game to bed in the first half, or early in the second. Feel free to back the hosts to cover in this one.
