At Professionalsportspicks we see a future where those handicapping sports without advanced analytics and data-driven strategies will be left behind. Our data-driven picks use data integration, search and discovery, and knowledge management along with collaboration with our in-house handicappers. By isolating relevant trends, removing human bias, and targeting only lines with a positive expected value above a certain threshold, our data-driven picks promise to outperform any and all human competitors.
Our models suggest that the value is on the favorite. Kentucky are 14-3 SU in their last 17 games. Alabama are 4-15 SU in their last 19 games against Kentucky.
Don't be too shocked if top-seeded Auburn gets upset today by Georgia. I'm certainly willing to take this many points with home underdog Georgia to find out.
Yes, the Bulldogs just suffered their worst loss of the season falling on the road to sixth-ranked Tennessee, 74-56, this past Wednesday. That should only add to the emotion and motivation Georgia will experience hosting No. 1 Auburn.
The 23rd-ranked Bulldogs are 11-0 at home this season. This includes SEC home victories versus Kentucky and Oklahoma.
A big reason for my Georgia optimism is Auburn not having star senior 6-foot-10 Johni Broome, who leads the Tigers in scoring, rebounding and blocked shots. Broome is out with an ankle injury. The Tigers wanted to prove they could win without their superstar. They beat Mississippi State, 88-66, at home this past Tuesday.
Now the Tigers have to play again without Broome only this time on the road. Auburn has played only three true road games. They are just plus two points in these away games. That was with Broome.
Georgia ranks ninth nationally in defensive rebounding. The Bulldogs can exploit Broome's injury with 6-foot-11 Asa Newell, who averages a team-best 15.3 points and also leads the team in rebounding.
