💰 Best Bet #1 Georgia Bulldogs / Spread / -34 at -110 / 75% / Georgia’s dominant 104-59 win in their opener showcases superior adjusted offensive efficiency (projected 110+ per 100 possessions via KenPom early metrics), while Maryland-Eastern Shore’s 52-56 loss highlights defensive vulnerabilities against mid-majors; home advantage and quick turnaround favor a blowout cover despite public heavy action.
