\"\"<\/a>
The Georgia Bulldogs are 4-1 ATS in their last five meetings with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Georgia has lost five of its last six games, including a 64-53 setback to the South Florida Bulls as 3.5-point road underdogs, while going OVER the total for the first time in five opportunities this year.\u00a0 The Bulldogs are led by sophomore guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who has been the leading scorer in all seven games this year, averaging 17.6 points and 6.0 rebounds per game.\u00a0 Georgia is 5-18 ATS when taking on teams that allow 64 or fewer points since 2010, which is important to consider when making your college basketball picks against the spread on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The Bulldogs will take the next 11 days off for Fall Semester final exams after this affair, as they\u2019ll open up a five-game homestand on Dec. 15.\u00a0 Georgia returned 62 percent of its scoring and 76 percent of its rebounding from a season ago, while the current roster played 68 percent of the minutes.\u00a0 Offensively, the team is struggling to find a true No. 2 option offensively, as five players have finished behind Caldwell-Pope in the box score.<\/p>\n

Georgia Tech returns home from its only road trip of the pre-conference season, as it begins a stretch of seven consecutive games at McCamish Pavilion.\u00a0 The Yellow Jackets have alternated wins and losses over their last four games, coming off a 75-62 loss to the Illinois Fighting Illini as 10.5-point underdogs.\u00a0 Every player suiting up for the program Tuesday night is from the state of Georgia, with seven being from the Atlanta metropolitan area.\u00a0 Georgia Tech is 0-2 ATS when playing at home when the total is 119.5 or less over the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The Yellow Jackets have held a lead well into the second half in both of their losses during the 2012-13 campaign, which is significant when looking over the college basketball odds page.\u00a0 Georgia Tech has not played a game closer than nine points this season, with its four wins coming by an average of 14.8 points, while its two losses by 12.0 points.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Yellow Jackets due to their 5-0 ATS mark at home, while the road team is 3-8 ATS in the last 11 meetings in this series.<\/p>\n
