Number 1 ranked Kentucky vs the NCAA tournament hopefuls Georgia? Sounds like a recipe for a crushing defeat, especially as Kentucky just regained that desired No. 1 berth on the standings for the first time in the earlier 2 months. Whilst the Kentucky Wildcats are at the top of the standings and enjoying an eleven game win streak, the Bulldogs can best be termed sporadic so far in the season.

College football odds

The Kentucky Wildcats are 19-1 and 5-0 in the SEC. They’re coming off of a particularly ugly game at home vs Alabama, where they earned their prior 15 points at the foul line. Luckily, the team is pretty excellent from the free-throw line, where they landed 23-of-29 to keep hold of the win, 77-71. That victory, coupled with Syracuse dropping their first game of the season, put Kentucky back at the top. Their recent eleven game win streak is additionally their greatest since going 19-0 in the course of the 2009-2010 season.

Football betting

Georgia will have its hands full struggling with the Kentucky Wildcats on Tuesday, January 24. The Bulldogs earned an invite to the NCAA tournament for the first time in the last three years in 2011, but 2 of their primary players graduated to the NBA. Since losing them, Georgia has lost much of their offensive touch, scoring only 61.9 ppg with a lousy 39.9 percent field-goal ratio. The Bulldogs are presently 10-9 in total and 1-4 in the SEC.

With the Kentucky Wildcats averaging 79.5 ppg, and the Bulldogs at 61.9, it’s no wonder the sportsbook is favoring the Wildcats by 12 points. It might be a bargain taking the Wildcats, as the game may wind up quite easily 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 performs even somewhat bit of defense, the Bulldogs’ offense could be properly shut down all evening.
