Number 1 rated Kentucky versus the NCAA championship hopefuls Georgia? Sounds like a recipe for a crushing defeat, particularly as Kentucky just regained that coveted No. 1 location on the standings for the first time in the earlier two months. Whilst the Kentucky Wildcats are at the top of the standings and experiencing an eleven game win streak, the Bulldogs can best be described as sporadic thus far in the season.
Online gambling
The Wildcats are 19-1 and 5-0 in the SEC. They’re coming off of a especially ugly game at home against Alabama, where they netted their previous 15 points at the foul line. Fortunately, the squad is pretty great from the free-throw line, where they landed 23-of-29 to keep hold of the win, 77-71. That win, along with Syracuse dropping their first game of the year, put Kentucky back at the top. Their present eleven game win streak is additionally their greatest since going 19-0 throughout the 2009-2010 year.
College football odds
Georgia is going to have its hands full struggling with the Kentucky Wildcats on Tuesday, January 24. The Bulldogs netted an invite to the NCAA championship for the first time in the last three years in 2011, but two of their main competitors advanced to the NBA. Since losing them, Georgia has lost much of their offensive touch, scoring merely 61.9 ppg with a lousy 39.9 percent field-goal proportion. 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 not surprising the sports book is favoring Kentucky by 12 points. It could be a bargain taking the Cats, as the game could 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 properly shut down all evening.
