Number 1 ranked Kentucky versus the NCAA championship hopefuls Georgia? Appears like a recipe for a crushing defeat, especially as Kentucky just barely regained that desired No. 1 berth on the standings for the first time in the previous two months. Whilst the Wildcats are ahead of the standings and experiencing an eleven game win streak, the Georgia Bulldogs can best be termed inconsistent so far in the year.

Sportsbook

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 earned their last 15 points at the foul line. Thankfully, the team is pretty great from the free-throw line, where they landed 23-of-29 to hold onto the win, 77-71. That victory, along with Syracuse dropping their first game of the season, put Kentucky back ahead. Their recent eleven game win streak is furthermore their greatest since going 19-0 during the 2009-2010 season.

College football betting

Georgia will have its hands full struggling with the Wildcats on Tuesday, January 24. The Georgia Bulldogs earned an invite to the NCAA championship for the first time in the last 3 years in 2011, but two of their main competitors moved on to the NBA. Since losing them, Georgia has lost most of their offensive touch, scoring just 61.9 points per game with a lousy 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 points per game, and the Georgia Bulldogs at 61.9, it’s no surprise the sportsbook is favoring Kentucky by 12 points. It may be a good deal taking the Cats, as the game could wind up very handily as a 15- or 20-point blowout. The total is established at 129, but and I would anticipate this game to go under the total. If Kentucky performs even slightly bit of defense, the Dogs’ offense may very well be efficiently shut down all night.
