[sc:NCAA240banner ]The Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte plays host tonight to the latest edition of the Belk Bowl, which will pit the Georgia Bulldogs against the Louisville Cardinals.
The Bulldogs are among the top rushing teams in the nation, finishing the regular season 13th overall in yards on the ground with 255.0 per game. Georgia’s backfield, though, will have to contend with Louisville’s rushing defense that surrenders just 93.67 yards per game—second fewest in the nation. While Georgia will repeatedly pound the ball with running back Nick Chubb (1,281 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns), Louisville will have most of its production with wideout DeVante Parker (735 receiving yards, five touchdowns).
The Bulldogs are 3-1 ATS in their last four games, while the over is 4-0 in the Cardinals’ last four games.
Writer’s Prediction
Georgia wins, 35-30.
San Antonio Spurs vs. Memphis Grizzlies (8:00 PM ET)
Line: San Antonio Spurs (+2) vs. Memphis Grizzlies (-2); total: 194.0 – view all NBA lines
It was a marathon the last time the Spurs and the Grizzlies met on the court. Behind Marc Gasol’s 26-point performance, the Grizzlies were able to edge San Antonio for a 117-116 triple overtime victory on December 17. Memphis, however, followed that big win with a four-game losing streak that ended last Saturday when the Grizzlies took down the Miami Heat on the road, 103-95.
The Spurs have also went on a nosedive after that contest, losing four of their next six games. San Antonio is coming into this game off a 110-106 win over the Houston Rockets on Sunday. However, the Spurs enter tonight’s game without Tony Parker (hamstring).
The Grizzlies are 3-1 ATS in their last four games when they’re the favorites by four points or less.
