Dunno. It is something deep in the nations mindset. Even our great teams, for instance in '78, end up with 'glorious failure'. They lost to Peru and failed to beat another shit team, only to then beat Holland and still fail to qualify.
Nowadays it is as much our playing style as much as the favourites tag. We are far more comfortable playing teams who will come and attack us so we can counter attack. Only teams who are better than us tend to do this.
I'm not convinced that this was necessarily a case of choking with Scotland tonight. I think that the players believed the media hype about how great they are and how the hard work was done by beating Ukraine. This led to them underestimating Georgia and thinking they just had to turn up to win.

Hello everybody 
Did u like the game guys? I loved it! Were at the stadium.
Poor couple thousand Scottish fans were absolutely quiet for whole game
Finally Klaus Toppmoller found the right team (mainly youngsters), there were 4 boys 17. and other very young. only 3 players mature. Brilliant Display!
Thats our hospitality!

Yeah if you say so! What the F$ck do you know! That we lost against France and Italy? We were winning in Ukraine and didn't deserve loss in Scotland and Ukrain.

Come onnn
Our loss in Scotland was very unlucky! We didn't deserve that.
Georgia Kicks (at least) Scottish ass
We have some brilliant (true talents) youngsters. You'll see in which clubs they'll end up. There are great talents in Georgia compared to population.
Georgian Team is under construction. and there are constant changes.
