Free College Basketball Pick: Georgia +5 (John Ryan)
Ai Simulator 3* graded play on Georgia as they host intra-state rival Georgia Tech set to start at 7:00 EST. AiS shows a 72% probability that Georgia will lose this game by 4 or fewer points. Supporting this graded play is a system that has produced a record of 108-58 ATS for 65% winners since 2004. Play on any team that plays a slow-down tempo paced game and is averaging 53 or less shots/game on the season facing an opponent after 4 straight games allowing a shooting percentage of 40% or less. I like this system as it underscores what Georgia needs to accomplish to win his game. Georgia will work the ball for the best shot available and hit a higher than average amount. AiS also reveals an 85% probability that GT will shoot between 40 and 46%. In past games, GT is 7-18 ATS (-12.8 Units) when they make 40% to 46% of their shots over the last 3 seasons. Georgia was hammered in their last game at Missouri losing by 28 points by the score of 89-61. Georgia has rebounded strong after embarrassing losses noting they are 13-4 ATS (+8.6 Units) off a road loss by 20 points or more since 1997. Take Georgia.
