Number one rated Kentucky versus the NCAA competition hopefuls Georgia? Seems like a recipe for a blowout, specifically as Kentucky barely regained that desired No. 1 berth on the rankings for the 1st time in the prior two months. Whilst the Wildcats are at the top of the rankings and enjoying an 11 game win streak, the Georgia Bulldogs can best be called inconsistent to date in the season.
Bet on sports
The Kentucky Wildcats are 19-1 and 5-0 in the SEC. They’re coming off of a particularly ugly game at home versus Alabama, where they earned their previous fifteen points at the foul line. Luckily, the team is pretty great from the free-throw line, where they landed 23-of-29 to keep hold of the win, 77-71. That victory, along with Syracuse dropping their 1st game of the season, put Kentucky back at the top. Their recent 11 game win streak is furthermore their best since going 19-0 in the course of the 2009-2010 season.
Sportsbook
Georgia will have its hands full dealing with the Wildcats on Tuesday, January 24. The Georgia Bulldogs earned an invite to the NCAA competition for the 1st time in the last 3 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 merely 61.9 points per game with a lousy 39.9 percent field-goal proportion. The Georgia Bulldogs are currently 10-9 overall and 1-4 in the SEC.
With the Wildcats averaging 79.5 points per game, and the Georgia Bulldogs at 61.9, it’s not surprising the sportsbook is favoring Kentucky by 12 points. It may be a good deal taking the Cats, as the game might end up quite easily as a 15- or 20-point blowout. The total is set at 129, but and I would anticipate this game to go under the total. If Kentucky performs even slightly bit of defense, the Dogs’ offense could be effectively shut down all evening.
