The No. 16-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide head to Athens to face the Georgia Bulldogs tonight.
The Tide are 7-1 straight up and against the spread in the last eight meetings between these SEC foes, and my Alabama vs. Georgia predictions expect them to prevail again.
Here are my best free college basketball picks for this clash on Tuesday, March 3.
Alabama vs Georgia prediction
Alabama vs Georgia best bet: Alabama moneyline (-115)
The Georgia Bulldogs are fresh off a win but are 4-6 in their last 10 games, including three losses at home. Meanwhile, the Alabama Crimson Tide have won eight in a row.
Both teams have explosive offenses, but the Tide are more efficient from deep and perform well away from home, averaging 90.8 points per game.
Alabama has been significantly better defensively lately. Over the last 10 games, UGA is 14th in the conference in adjusted defense and 13th in opponent eFG% (56%), while Bama ranks seventh in adjusted defense and fourth in opponent eFG% (49.9%).
Alabama vs Georgia same-game parlay
Both teams have highly-efficient, up-tempo attacks, but that's resulted in some inflated totals that haven't been hitting. The Bulldogs have gone below the first-half total in 10 of their last 15 games, while the Tide have cashed the first-half Under in 16 of their previous 25 contests.
UGA center Somo Cyril has cleared 13.5 points just once in his last 13 games and is averaging 9.6 points per outing over that span.
Alabama vs Georgia SGP
- Alabama moneyline
- First-half Under 85.5
- Somto Cyril Under 13.5 points
Our beyond the arc SGP: Roll Tide
With both teams playing at a blazing-fast pace and Georgia's lax defense, let's back two of Alabama's best players. Guard Labaron Philon leads the team with 21.4 ppg and is coming off a 23-point performance against Tennessee's stingy defense.
Freshman forward Amari Allen averages 7.3 boards per game and has eclipsed 12.5 points in five of his last seven games. He should torch a UGA frontcourt that struggles to defend the rim and sits outside the Top 300 in defensive rebounding rate.
Alabama vs Georgia SGP
- Alabama -1.5
- Labaron Philon Over 20.5 points
- Amari Allen Over 12.5 points
- Amari Allen Over 6.5 rebounds
