The top team in the SEC takes the court as Alabama faces Georgia. It is time to continue our College Basketball odds series with an Alabama-Georgia prediction, pick, and how-to-watch.

Alabama enters the game at 14-6 on the year, but 6-1 in conference play. After starting the year 6-2, Alabama hit a rough patch against some quality teams. They would fall to Purdue, Creighton, and Arizona in three straight games. Since then, they have won seven of eight games. The only loss was against SEC rival Tennessee, but it was a blowout. Alabama would lose to Tennessee by 20.

Meanwhile, Georgia is 14-6 on the year, but just 4-3 in SEC play. After starting the season 2-3, Georgia went on a ten-game winning streak. The streak was broken when thye faced Tennessee at home. It would be just a five-point loss, and Georgia would rebound to beat South Carolina. Still, they have now lost two of the last three, losing to Kentucky and in overtime to Florida after making a stellar comeback.
