Georgia Bulldogs vs Marquette Golden Eagles

Both of these teams are off respectable starts as the Georgia Bulldogs hit the road to take on Marquette. The Dogs have just one blemish on the season, at the hands of San Diego State, but also have a big win their last time out against St. Mary's. The 83 points vs. St. Mary's may look like an eye opener, but without the big guy in the middle, St. Marys is allowing better than 48% against them, yet shooting 3s at 42%, so the high scoring affair has lifted the total here. Marquette has shot the ball very well, but I don't think that will continue vs. Georgia, who has held four of their six opponents to less than 37%. This one looks too high. Play the UNDER here.

Marquette and Georgia will square off in a battle of 5-2 teams. Marquette has really gotten the offense going, and they have shot extremely well in their seven contests to date, averaging 50.6% from the field and better than 38% from deep. This is truly a good shooting team, and the evidence is their 80.6% conversion rate at the line. Additionally, the Golden Eagles have been turning their opponents over to the tune of 14.3 per contest, while topping 13 turnovers in just one game on offense. Marquette has already blistered an SEC opponent in Vanderbilt by 24 points. Georgia comes in with more modest numbers offensively and defensively, and the Bulldogs have been prone to aggressive defensive teams, having turned the ball over 14 or more times in five of their seven games. The turnover edge goes to Marquette, and as a proven deadly team from the charity stripe, they bring it home. Make the play on Marquette.
