Number one rated Kentucky against the NCAA tournament hopefuls Georgia? Looks like a recipe for a blowout, particularly as Kentucky barely regained that coveted No. 1 berth on the standings for the first time in the prior two months. Whilst the Wildcats are ahead of the standings and relishing an 11 game win streak, the Bulldogs can best be called sporadic so far in the year.

College football odds

Kentucky is 19-1 and 5-0 in the SEC. They’re coming off of a particularly unpleasant game at home against Alabama, where they netted their last 15 points at the foul line. Thankfully, the team is pretty good from the free-throw line, where they made 23-of-29 to hold onto the win, 77-71. That win, joined with Syracuse dropping their first game of the year, put Kentucky back ahead. Their recent 11 game win streak is also their best since going 19-0 throughout the 2009-2010 year.

Georgia is going to have its hands full struggling with the Wildcats on Tuesday, January 24. The Bulldogs netted an invite to the NCAA tournament for the first time in the last three years in 2011, but two of their main 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 Bulldogs are now 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 the Wildcats by 12 points. It could be a good deal taking the Cats, as the game may end 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 plays even slightly bit of defense, the Bulldogs’ offense could be successfully shut down all night.
