Number 1 rated Kentucky against the NCAA championship hopefuls Georgia? Looks like a recipe for a crushing defeat, particularly as Kentucky barely regained that coveted No. 1 spot on the standings for the first time in the earlier 2 months. Whilst the Wildcats are at the top of the standings and enjoying an 11 game win streak, the Georgia Bulldogs can best be termed inconsistent thus far in the season.
NFL betting
Kentucky is 19-1 and 5-0 in the SEC. They are coming off of a especially ugly game at home vs Alabama, where they earned their previous 15 points at the foul line. Thankfully, the squad is pretty good from the free-throw line, where they made 23-of-29 to keep the win, 77-71. That win, coupled with Syracuse dropping their first game of the season, put Kentucky back at the top. Their present 11 game win streak is also their greatest since going 19-0 during the 2009-2010 season.

Georgia is going to 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 three years in 2011, but 2 of their main players advanced to the NBA. Since losing them, Georgia has lost much of their offensive touch, scoring only 61.9 ppg with a pathetic 39.9 percent field-goal proportion. The Georgia Bulldogs are now 10-9 total and 1-4 in the SEC.
With the Wildcats averaging 79.5 ppg, and the Georgia Bulldogs at 61.9, it is not surprising the sports book is favoring Kentucky by 12 points. It might be a good deal taking the Cats, as the game may end up pretty effortlessly 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 performs even a little bit of defense, the Bulldogs’ offense could possibly be efficiently shut down all evening.
