The Green Bay Phoenix (0-1) and Georgetown Hoyas (1-0) meet for some Saturday morning breakfast ball in Washington, D.C. The opening tip at Capital One Arena will be at 11 a.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Green Bay vs. Georgetown odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.
Green Bay lost its season opener 80-53 at Indiana State Monday, failing to cover as a 17-point underdog. ISU shot 54.4% from the field against a Green Bay squad that struggled in preventing buckets last season. Those defensive issues were behind the Phoenix going 5-25 overall and 1-13 on the road last season.
The Hoyas snapped a 21-game losing streak Tuesday when they beat Coppin State 99-89 in overtime. Sophomore G Primo Spears scored 28 points and senior G Bryson Mozone added 20, as GU won for the first time since Dec. 15.

Green Bay at Georgetown picks and predictions
Prediction
Georgetown 83, Green Bay 65
Moneyline
PASS.
Georgetown (-2000) should emerge victorious, but there is no value in that price tag.
Against the spread
Let’s try not to take too much from each team’s first game. A GU win by a margin in the high teens is tough to quibble with. PASS.
Over/Under
Georgetown plays an up-tempo style, and neither one of these teams played much defense last season or in their respective openers.
In 3 decent early-season comps to this-level, fast-tempo opponent for Green Bay last season, the Over went 2-1. Among Georgetown’s early-season comps to this one, last year were American, Siena, UMBC and Howard. The Over hit in 3 of those 4.
BACK THE OVER 144.5 (-112).
