Number one rated Kentucky against the NCAA championship hopefuls Georgia? Appears like a recipe for a crushing defeat, specifically as Kentucky just regained that coveted No. 1 location on the standings for the 1st time in the earlier two months. While the Wildcats are on top of the standings and relishing an 11 game win streak, the Georgia Bulldogs can best be called sporadic to date in the year.

Sports betting

The Kentucky Wildcats are 19-1 and 5-0 in the SEC. They are coming off of a particularly unpleasant game at home versus Alabama, where they earned their last 15 points at the foul line. Thankfully, the team is fairly excellent from the free-throw line, where they landed 23-of-29 to keep the win, 77-71. That victory, joined with Syracuse dropping their 1st game of the season, put Kentucky back on top. Their present 11 game win streak is additionally their best since going 19-0 during the 2009-2010 season.

Sports betting

Georgia is going to have its hands full dealing with the Wildcats on Tuesday, January 24. The Georgia Bulldogs earned an invite to the NCAA championship for the 1st time in the last 3 years in 2011, but two of their principal players moved on to the NBA. Since losing them, Georgia has lost a lot of their offensive touch, scoring just 61.9 ppg with a terrible 39.9 percent field-goal ratio. The Georgia Bulldogs are now 10-9 overall and 1-4 in the SEC.

With the Wildcats averaging 79.5 ppg, and the Georgia Bulldogs at 61.9, it is no wonder the sportsbook is favoring Kentucky by 12 points. It may be a good deal taking the Cats, as the game might end up pretty effortlessly as a 15- or 20-point blowout. The total is established at 129, but and I would anticipate this match to go under the total. If Kentucky plays even somewhat bit of defense, the Dogs’ offense may very well be efficiently shut down all evening.
