Number one rated Kentucky versus the NCAA tournament hopefuls Georgia? Looks like a recipe for a crushing defeat, especially as Kentucky just barely regained that coveted No. 1 spot on the standings for the 1st time in the prior 2 months. Whereas the Wildcats are at the top of the standings and enjoying an 11 game win streak, the Bulldogs can best be called sporadic thus far in the year.
NFL odds
The Kentucky Wildcats are 19-1 and 5-0 in the SEC. They’re coming off of a particularly ugly game at home against Alabama, where they earned their last 15 points at the foul line. Luckily, the squad is pretty excellent from the free-throw line, where they landed 23-of-29 to retain the win, 77-71. That victory, combined with Syracuse dropping their 1st game of the season, put Kentucky back at the top. Their current 11 game win streak is furthermore their greatest since going 19-0 in the course of the 2009-2010 season.
College football betting
Georgia is going to have its hands full struggling with the Wildcats on Tuesday, January 24. The Bulldogs earned an invite to the NCAA tournament for the 1st time in the last 3 years in 2011, but 2 of their main competitors advanced to the NBA. Since losing them, Georgia has lost most of their offensive touch, scoring simply 61.9 points per game with a pathetic 39.9 percent field-goal percentage. The Bulldogs are currently 10-9 overall and 1-4 in the SEC.
With the Wildcats averaging 79.5 points per game, and the Bulldogs at 61.9, it is not surprising the sportsbook is favoring the Wildcats by 12 points. It could be a bargain taking the Cats, as the game may end up pretty effortlessly as a 15- or 20-point blowout. The total is set at 129, but and I would expect this match to go under the total. If Kentucky performs even a bit bit of defense, the Bulldogs’ offense could be effectively shut down all evening.
