Number 1 rated Kentucky vs the NCAA championship hopefuls Georgia? Seems like a recipe for a blowout, especially as Kentucky barely regained that desired No. 1 spot on the rankings for the first time in the prior 2 months. While the Wildcats are at the top of the rankings and experiencing an eleven game win streak, the Georgia Bulldogs can best be called inconsistent thus far in the season.

NFL betting

The Kentucky Wildcats are 19-1 and 5-0 in the SEC. They are coming off of a particularly ugly game at home against Alabama, where they netted their previous 15 points at the foul line. Thankfully, the squad is fairly excellent from the free-throw line, where they landed 23-of-29 to keep hold of the win, 77-71. That victory, combined with Syracuse dropping their first game of the year, put Kentucky back at the top. Their current eleven game win streak is additionally their best since going 19-0 throughout the 2009-2010 year.

Georgia is going to have its hands full struggling with the Wildcats on Tuesday, January 24. The Georgia Bulldogs netted an invite to the NCAA championship for the first time in the last 3 years in 2011, but 2 of their main players advanced to the NBA. Since losing them, Georgia has lost most of their offensive touch, scoring merely 61.9 points per game with a terrible 39.9 percent field-goal ratio. The Georgia Bulldogs are presently 10-9 total and 1-4 in the SEC.

With the Wildcats averaging 79.5 points per game, and the Georgia Bulldogs at 61.9, it is not surprising the sportsbook is favoring the Wildcats by 12 points. It might be a good deal taking the Wildcats, as the game could end up pretty easily as a 15- or 20-point blowout. The total is set at 129, but and I would anticipate this match to go under the total. If Kentucky plays even slightly bit of defense, the Bulldogs’ offense might be properly shut down all evening.
