Georgia vs Hampton Key Stats
The Pirates are 1-4 in their previous five games of the season but have managed to cover the spread in three of those games as underdogs. In their loss against the Demon Deacons, Marquis Godwin scored 18 points, while Russell Dean scored 15 points, grabbed seven rebounds, and dished out seven assists.
The Pirates scored an average of 71.7 points on 38.3% shooting, while they gave up 83.2 points per game on 46.7% shooting. They are shooting 36.2% from beyond the arc but possess one of the worst defenses in the nation as they struggle with ball possession, fighting for loose balls, and marking their man on the court efficiently.
The Bulldogs are 5-0 in their five previous games of the season but have managed to cover the spread in only one game as favorites. In the recent win against the Buccaneers, Kario Oquendo scored 16 points, while Terry Roberts scored 12 points, grabbed six rebounds, and dished out six assists in the win. The rest of the unit also stepped up on both ends of the court.
The Bulldogs are averaging 68.9 points per game on 40.6% shooting and giving up 64.9 points on 42.9% shooting. They have been very strong in their shooting range from the free throw line and are grabbing rebounds impeccably on either side of the court. The Bulldogs might not look impressive individually, but as a team, their roster knows how to win!
Georgia vs Hampton Betting Prediction
The Georgia Bulldogs' offense is far superior to that of the Hampton Pirates. The Pirates' defense has been subpar this season and will overpower the Bulldogs.
The Bulldogs have hit the over eight times in their last nine games, each resulting in a win ATS, and the Pirates have hit the over six times in their previous six games, previously ending up on the losing side.
I don't see why this game shouldn't hit the over in the total.
Pick: Over 143.5 (-105)
