I RARELY back Mike White's Georgia Bulldogs but this is a spot where it makes a lot of sense. Georgia plainly matches up really well here and the Bulldogs are really strong in this road underdog role ATS-wise. Georgia's offense has turned into more of a perimeter attack in conference play and that is bad news for a bad three-point defense in LSU. Georgia also does a great job at drawing contact and getting to the line, which is also worrisome for an LSU defense that takes a lot of fouls. Georgia beat LSU in the first meeting by two even though LSU crushed UGA from the perimeter with 5 more made threes at a 14% better clip. Georgia's three-point defense and offense should improve in the second meeting and although LSU is playing with revenge, I don't think it will get it. Georgia is the slightly better team here and the matchup makes UGA an even stronger selection in my opinion. Add to the fact that LSU is still a bit overvalued from its big upset over Kentucky, and I like Georgia + the points in this one.
Ron’s Pick Georgia Bulldogs: +4 -110
