Number one ranked Kentucky vs the NCAA tournament hopefuls Georgia? Seems like a recipe for a crushing defeat, especially as Kentucky barely regained that coveted No. 1 location on the standings for the 1st time in the prior 2 months. While the Wildcats are on top of the standings and enjoying an 11 game win streak, the Georgia Bulldogs can best be described as sporadic so far in the year.

Kentucky is 19-1 and 5-0 in the SEC. They’re coming off of a particularly unpleasant game at home against Alabama, where they netted their prior 15 points at the foul line. Thankfully, the team is fairly good from the free-throw line, where they landed 23-of-29 to hold onto the win, 77-71. That victory, combined with Syracuse dropping their 1st game of the season, put Kentucky back on top. Their recent 11 game win streak is furthermore their best since going 19-0 in the course of the 2009-2010 season.

College football betting

Georgia will have its hands full facing the Wildcats on Tuesday, January 24. The Georgia Bulldogs netted an invite to the NCAA tournament for the 1st time in the last 3 years in 2011, but 2 of their primary players moved on to the NBA. Since losing them, Georgia has lost most of their offensive touch, scoring simply 61.9 ppg with a pathetic 39.9 percent field-goal ratio. The Georgia Bulldogs are currently 10-9 total and 1-4 in the SEC.

With the Wildcats averaging 79.5 ppg, and the Georgia Bulldogs at 61.9, it’s no wonder the sportsbook is favoring Kentucky by 12 points. It might be a good deal taking the Cats, 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 game to go under the total. If Kentucky plays even a bit bit of defense, the Dogs’ offense might be efficiently shut down all evening.
