Auburn vs georgia (total for the game is 125.5)
-First half total to go over 57.5
-only meeting this season was won by georgia 81-72 (ot). First half score was 38-34 georgia. Also played in 2010 and auburn won 82-63 and the first half score was 45-36.
-Both auburn and georgia are coming off games where they stayed under the total for the half and the game.
-auburn allowed a lot of points to quality sec teams in away games. (allowed miss st 85, miss 90, kentucky 78, georgia 81). Auburn does not play good defense against good sec teams.

Great writeup

I don't believe in trends as law of the land although this is good info for those of us who have a very rough knowledge of these two teams.

Two quick things:

I wouldnt necessarily trust Auburn's offense against Georgias defense and vice versa to a lesser extent. Secondly, I could see VTech shutting GTech down a bit in the first half and could entirely see a 31-22 first half there.
