Number one rated Kentucky against the NCAA competition hopefuls Georgia? Appears like a recipe for a crushing defeat, especially as Kentucky barely regained that desired No. 1 location on the standings for the 1st time in the earlier two months. Whereas the Kentucky Wildcats are ahead of the standings and experiencing an eleven game win streak, the Bulldogs can best be called inconsistent thus far in the year.

College football odds

Kentucky is 19-1 and 5-0 in the SEC. They are coming off of a especially unsightly game at home against Alabama, where they earned their previous 15 points at the foul line. Thankfully, the squad is fairly good from the free-throw line, where they made 23-of-29 to hold onto the win, 77-71. That win, combined with Syracuse dropping their 1st game of the year, put Kentucky back ahead. Their recent eleven game win streak is furthermore their greatest since going 19-0 throughout the 2009-2010 year.

Georgia is going to have its hands full dealing with the Kentucky Wildcats on Tuesday, January 24. The Bulldogs earned an invite to the NCAA competition for the 1st time in the last three years in 2011, but two of their principal players graduated 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 Bulldogs are presently 10-9 total and 1-4 in the SEC.

With the Kentucky Wildcats averaging 79.5 ppg, and the Bulldogs at 61.9, it’s no surprise the sports book is favoring Kentucky by 12 points. It might be a bargain taking the Wildcats, as the game could wind up pretty easily as a 15- or 20-point blowout. The total is established at 129, but and I would expect this game to go under the total. If Kentucky plays even a little bit of defense, the Dogs’ offense could be successfully shut down all evening.
