It is an SEC battle on Saturday as Tennessee visits Georgia. It is time to continue our College Basketball odds series with a Tennessee-Georgia prediction, pick, and how-to-watch.

Tennessee comes into the game sitting at 11-4 on the year and ranked fifth in the nation. After opening 4-0, and then a three-game losing streak with losses to Purdue, Kansas, and North Carolina, Tennessee has been solid. They won eight straight after that, but last time out they were upset by an unranked Mississippi State. Mississippi State led most of the game. They were up 13 at the half and would hold onto the lead until 4:38 left in the game. Tennessee tied it up, but could not take the lead in the game, and would fall 77-72.

Meanwhile, Georgia comes in at 12-3. They opened the year with a loss to Oregon and then would lose two of their next four games. Since then, they have been great. Georgia has won ten straight games, including back-to-back wins in the SEC. Last time out, it was a ten-point victory over Arkansas.
