Number 1 rated Kentucky versus the NCAA tournament hopefuls Georgia? Appears like a recipe for a blowout, specifically as Kentucky barely regained that coveted No. 1 berth on the rankings for the first time in the prior two months. Whereas the Wildcats are ahead of the rankings and enjoying 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 vs Alabama, where they earned their previous 15 points at the foul line. Fortunately, the squad is pretty great from the free-throw line, where they made 23-of-29 to hold onto the win, 77-71. That victory, joined with Syracuse dropping their first game of the season, put Kentucky back ahead. Their current eleven game win streak is additionally their greatest since going 19-0 during the 2009-2010 season.

Georgia will have its hands full facing the Wildcats on Tuesday, January 24. The Georgia Bulldogs earned an invite to the NCAA tournament for the first time in the last three years in 2011, but two of their main competitors graduated to the NBA. Since losing them, Georgia has lost much of their offensive touch, scoring only 61.9 points per game with a lousy 39.9 percent field-goal ratio. The Georgia Bulldogs are presently 10-9 in 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 may wind up quite easily 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 Dogs’ offense might be effectively shut down all evening.
