Number 1 ranked Kentucky vs the NCAA tournament hopefuls Georgia? Sounds like a recipe for a blowout, specifically as Kentucky just regained that coveted No. 1 spot on the rankings for the 1st time in the prior two months. While the Kentucky Wildcats are on top of the rankings and relishing an eleven game win streak, the Georgia Bulldogs can best be described as inconsistent to date in the year.
Online betting
The Kentucky Wildcats are 19-1 and 5-0 in the SEC. They are coming off of a especially unsightly game at home versus Alabama, where they won their previous fifteen points at the foul line. Fortunately, the team is fairly great from the free-throw line, where they landed 23-of-29 to keep hold of the win, 77-71. That win, joined with Syracuse dropping their 1st game of the year, put Kentucky back on top. Their recent eleven game win streak is furthermore their greatest since going 19-0 during the 2009-2010 year.
Football betting
Georgia is going to have its hands full facing the Kentucky Wildcats on Tuesday, January 24. The Georgia Bulldogs won an invite to the NCAA tournament for the 1st time in the last three years in 2011, but two of their primary competitors advanced to the NBA. Since losing them, Georgia has lost much of their offensive touch, scoring simply 61.9 ppg with a terrible 39.9 percent field-goal proportion. The Georgia Bulldogs are presently 10-9 overall and 1-4 in the SEC.
With the Kentucky Wildcats averaging 79.5 ppg, and the Georgia Bulldogs at 61.9, it’s no surprise the sportsbook is favoring Kentucky by 12 points. It could be a good deal taking the Wildcats, as the game may wind up pretty effortlessly 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 performs even a little bit bit of defense, the Dogs’ offense may very well be efficiently shut down all evening.
