Georgia vs Bucknell Best Picks and Prediction
The Bulldogs are where I'm going to try my luck, but I doubt I'll venture too close. In their most recent game, the Bulldogs shot only 39.7 percent against Miami (OH) while committing 18 turnovers. They went 10-22-0 last season while betting against the spread. The Bulldogs went winless ATS (0-1) as a 13-point or higher underdog last year and all 32 of the Bulldogs' games went over.
Nevertheless, with a 42-27 rebounding advantage, the Bulldogs did a terrific job on the boards (18-8 offense). They should be good on a cover if they can outmuscle the Bison in this particular battle of strength.
Pick: Bulldogs -12.5 (-118)
