Oklahoma vs Georgia

Will injuries tip the scales towards Bulldogs dominance?

Oklahoma

Sooners (6-12-19-12) VS Bulldogs (8-10-20-11)

Mar 12, 2025 | 9:30 PM ET | Stegeman Coliseum, Athens, GA

Georgia
Moneyline Pick: Georgia (-165) - Grade: A-

Considering Georgia's healthier roster, recent superior form, and recent effectiveness against their familiar opponent, backing the Bulldogs moneyline at -165 odds appears an excellent combination of likelihood and solid monetary value.

Over/Under Pick: Under 148.5, (-110) - B+

Georgia has snapped their three-game losing streak, winning their latest game primarily due to their stringent defensive consistency rather than offensive firepower. Additionally, historical matchups between these two teams have consistently emphasized defensive intensity with notably low-scoring contests. Georgia forward Damian Roberts, who typically excels against Big 12 opponents, has averaged only 11 points in three previous meets against Oklahoma, indicating potential offensive struggles ahead. The anticipated absence of Holloway, combined with both teams' current offensive inconsistencies despite Georgia's recent defensive improvements, should result in a game-score comfortably below the 148.5 over/under line set for this matchup. Given these dynamics, selecting the under at 148.5 offers strong betting value and maintains a solid B+ grade in terms of potential earnings and likelihood of success.

Spread Pick: Georgia, -3 (-110) - B+
Oklahoma enters this crucial March showdown against Georgia in particularly shaky form, having recently dropped their last three consecutive matchups against SEC competition. Adding to their setbacks, forward Jacob Cole, who consistently contributes on both ends of the court, remains sidelined by an ankle injury that continues to diminish the Sooners' effectiveness in the paint. Conversely, the Bulldogs arrive on their home court confident after posting an impressive four-game winning streak, sparked offensively by backcourt duo Christian Anderson Jr. and Dylan James. Historically, Georgia has held a noticeable edge over Oklahoma, especially when playing at Stegeman Coliseum, where the Bulldogs have secured convincing victories in four of their last five meetings versus the Sooners. Given Oklahoma's recent struggles, a critical injury weakening their frontcourt depth, and Georgia's consistent performances against Big 12 opposition at home, laying three points with the Bulldogs tonight is a solid wagering proposition, meriting a B+ rating for its reliability and attractive payout.
