Number 1 rated Kentucky against the NCAA championship hopefuls Georgia? Seems like a recipe for a blowout, specifically as Kentucky barely regained that desired No. 1 location on the rankings for the first time in the prior 2 months. While the Wildcats are at the top of the rankings and enjoying an 11 game win streak, the Bulldogs can best be described as inconsistent so far in the season.

The Kentucky Wildcats are 19-1 and 5-0 in the SEC. They are coming off of a particularly ugly game at home versus Alabama, where they earned their prior 15 points at the foul line. Fortunately, the team is fairly excellent from the free-throw line, where they made 23-of-29 to keep hold of the win, 77-71. That victory, along with Syracuse dropping their first game of the season, put Kentucky back at the top. Their current 11 game win streak is also their greatest since going 19-0 in the course of the 2009-2010 season.

NFL odds

Georgia is going to have its hands full struggling with the Wildcats on Tuesday, January 24. The Bulldogs earned an invite to the NCAA championship for the first time in the last 3 years in 2011, but 2 of their principal competitors advanced to the NBA. Since losing them, Georgia has lost most of their offensive touch, scoring simply 61.9 ppg with a terrible 39.9 percent field-goal proportion. The Bulldogs are currently 10-9 overall and 1-4 in the SEC.

With the Wildcats averaging 79.5 ppg, and the Bulldogs at 61.9, it is no surprise the sports book is favoring Kentucky by 12 points. It may be a good deal taking the Cats, as the game may wind up pretty easily as a 15- or 20-point blowout. The total is set at 129, but and I would anticipate this game to go under the total. If Kentucky performs even a little bit of defense, the Bulldogs’ offense could possibly be effectively shut down all evening.
