Number one ranked Kentucky vs the NCAA competition hopefuls Georgia? Sounds like a recipe for a crushing defeat, particularly as Kentucky just barely regained that coveted No. 1 berth on the standings for the 1st time in the prior two months. Whilst the Wildcats are on top of the standings and experiencing an eleven game win streak, the Georgia Bulldogs can best be called inconsistent so far in the year.

The Wildcats are 19-1 and 5-0 in the SEC. They’re coming off of a particularly 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 landed 23-of-29 to retain the win, 77-71. That win, joined with Syracuse dropping their 1st game of the year, put Kentucky back on top. Their current eleven game win streak is additionally their greatest since going 19-0 during the 2009-2010 year.

NFL odds

Georgia will have its hands full dealing with the Wildcats on Tuesday, January 24. The Georgia 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 advanced to the NBA. Since losing them, Georgia has lost most of their offensive touch, scoring merely 61.9 ppg with a terrible 39.9 percent field-goal ratio. The Georgia Bulldogs are presently 10-9 in total and 1-4 in the SEC.

With the Wildcats averaging 79.5 ppg, and the Georgia Bulldogs at 61.9, it is no surprise the sportsbook is favoring Kentucky by 12 points. It might be a good deal taking the Wildcats, as the game could wind up quite easily 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 plays even somewhat bit of defense, the Dogs’ offense might be effectively shut down all evening.
