The No. 23 Georgia Bulldogs (14-2, 2-1 SEC) take on the No. 6 Tennessee Volunteers (15-1, 2-1) in a heated battle amongst ranked teams Wednesday. Tip-off from Thompson-Boling Arena is set for 8 p.m. (SEC Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Georgia vs. Tennesseeodds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.
The Bulldogs are 9-1 over their last 10 games, and the latest victory was a 72-62 winner over the Oklahoma Sooners Saturday. F Asa Newell had 15 points, 5 boards and 2 blocks. He’s averaging a cool 15.4 PPG on the season. Georgia has won 2 straight after a setback at Ole Miss Jan. 4.
The Vols rebounded from the destruction that ensued in a 73-43 loss at Florida with a 74-70 win at Texas Saturday. They failed to cover as 4.5-point favorites, though. G Chaz Lanier was just 3-for-11 from the floor for 10 points. He leads the team with 19.0 PPG but has scored just 10 in each of the last 2 and shot 6-for-27 (22.2%) in the process.

Georgia at Tennessee picks and predictions
Prediction
Tennessee 74, Georgia 72
Moneyline
The Vols are vulnerable, and I wouldn’t pay -800 for them to beat a JUCO team right now.
I will take CHAZ LANIER UNDER 19.5 POINTS (-110). As mentioned, he’s in a horrible shooting slump, and he should stay south of his season average.

Against the spread
I love GEORGIA +11.5 (+100) in this spot. Tennessee has won the last 4 matchups, but Georgia kept it within 10 in 3 of the last 4.
Over/Under
I like the Over here because of a combination of Tennessee’s shooting issues allowing Georgia to keep it tight. Both teams are 3-7 O/U in the last 10, but it’s 3-2 in the last 5 head-to-head meetings. This is the smallest total in this matchup since 2018.
TAKE OVER 133.5 (-115).
