Number 1 rated Kentucky against the NCAA tournament hopefuls Georgia? Appears like a recipe for a crushing defeat, specifically as Kentucky just barely regained that desired No. 1 berth on the rankings for the first time in the previous 2 months. While the Kentucky Wildcats are on top of the rankings and savoring an eleven game win streak, the Bulldogs can best be described as inconsistent so far in the year.

NFL odds

Kentucky is 19-1 and 5-0 in the SEC. They are coming off of a especially unpleasant game at home against Alabama, where they earned their prior 15 points at the foul line. Fortunately, the team is fairly good from the free-throw line, where they landed 23-of-29 to hold onto the win, 77-71. That victory, coupled with Syracuse dropping their first game of the year, put Kentucky back on top. Their present eleven game win streak is additionally their best since going 19-0 in the course of the 2009-2010 year.

Football betting

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 tournament for the first time in the last three years in 2011, but 2 of their principal players moved on to the NBA. Since losing them, Georgia has lost most of their offensive touch, scoring only 61.9 ppg with a pathetic 39.9 percent field-goal percentage. The Bulldogs are currently 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 Cats, as the game may wind up quite effortlessly 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 a bit bit of defense, the Dogs’ offense could be properly shut down all night.
