Auburn vs Georgia Game Preview


Why Auburn Will Win

So what’s Auburn doing that’s so great?

It’s not hitting from three lately, it’s fouling a whole lot, and it’s been just okay at getting that extra pass for easy baskets. However …

It’s been amazing on the boards, it blocks a whole lot of shot, and it doesn’t make enough mistakes for teams to overcome the pace and the firepower the Tiger offense is bringing.

There was a rough shooting night several days ago in a close win over Missouri, but it’s hitting everything inside the arc and is great at getting on the move and getting to the rim.

But it’s this – Georgia is bad on the boards. Auburn can have an off day shooting and be fine. So …

Why Georgia Will Win

What can Georgia do to pull this off?

It’s 1-10 in its last 11, but it was able to shock Alabama at home by clamping down from the outside came coming up with its best day of the year at forcing turnovers.

The Bulldogs are great at getting to the free throw line. They have to stall the Auburn offense a bit by getting fouled and slowing the overall rhythm.

They’ve been shooting well from the field lately – even in losses – and Auburn can’t seem to buy enough threes over the last several games hitting under 30% from the outside in four of the last five.

But …

What’s Going To Happen

Auburn should be able to run its way to a relatively easy win.

It took out the Dawgs 83-50  a few weeks ago even though it was lousy from three and only got to the free throw line nine times. It was one of Auburn’s best passing games of the season, the D forced a ton of mistakes, and it should all happen again.

Expect the Tigers to be at least +6 in the rebounding margin.

Why Auburn Will Win

How much do you believe in the Georgia offense?

D’Wan Mathis struggled against Arkansas – to be very, very nice about it – and Stetson Bennett stepped in and was solid, throwing for 211 yards and two touchdowns. Now USC JT Daniels has been medically cleared to play to throw another wrinkle in the quarterback mix.

But there’s a running game to rely on, right?

42 carries, 121 yards – fewer than three yards per carry – in the 37-10 win over the Hogs.

Meanwhile, Bo Nix was solid in the 29-13 win over Kentucky, looking and playing like a guy with a year of starting experience under his belt. He’s still misfiring a bit too often, but with NFL-caliber receivers Seth Williams, Anthony Schwartz, and Eli Stove to throw to, the passing game worked early on.

However …

CFN Experts Picks: NFL

Why Georgia Will Win

Yes, the Bulldog offense might be a question mark, but the defense will continue to be a rock.

The Georgia secondary was terrific against Feleipe Franks and the Hogs – coming up with three interceptions including a pick-six from Eric Stokes – and the run defense was a rock. Arkansas didn’t have any room to move, and now the Bulldog defensive front gets an Auburn running game that didn’t work against Kentucky.

Bo Nix led the team with 34 rushing yards with the backs not doing enough to shake free. The Bulldogs defense isn’t going to get give up more than 150 yards on the ground – it’s going to be Nix or bust.

CFN Experts Picks: College Football

What’s Going To Happen

Georgia might not be anything pretty, but it’ll be effective.

From the two turnovers, to the shaky quarterback play in the slow start, to the 12 penalties, it was a rough outing for a Bulldog team that was able to get by Arkansas just by being far more talented on D.

The Auburn defense will show up, too, keeping the game close. A few big plays from the Tiger receiving corps will keep the pressure on, but the Bulldogs will survive on a late score and a big defensive stop.
