Georgia vs Auburn Prediction 

Auburn comes into this matchup with just one loss on the season and they are ranked #1 in the country, but they will be on the road for this game and most likely without their best player. The Tigers are shooting nearly 51% from the field this year and they are scoring over 86 points per game. On the other side of the court, Auburn is allowing just 66.0 points against per game and has allowed 68 points or fewer in four of their last five. Georgia was just blown out by Tennessee in their last game, but they will be at home, where they just beat Oklahoma and Kentucky by double digits. The Bulldogs are also a very good defensive team and I think they could beat Auburn here, especially if Broome doesn’t play. Take Georgia at home.
