College Basketball Kentucky Wildcats vs Bulldogs in Jan 24 Sports Gambling

Number one rated Kentucky versus the NCAA tournament hopefuls Georgia? Sounds like a recipe for a crushing defeat, specifically as Kentucky just barely regained that desired No. 1 spot on the rankings for the first time in the previous two months. Whilst the Wildcats are at the top of the rankings and experiencing an 11 game win streak, the Georgia Bulldogs can best be described as inconsistent thus far in the season.

Super Bowl odds

The Wildcats are 19-1 and 5-0 in the SEC. They’re coming off of a especially ugly game at home versus Alabama, where they won 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 hold onto the win, 77-71. That win, along with Syracuse dropping their first game of the year, put Kentucky back at the top. Their current 11 game win streak is additionally their best since going 19-0 in the course of the 2009-2010 year.

Sportsbook

Georgia is going to have its hands full dealing with the Wildcats on Tuesday, January 24. The Georgia Bulldogs won an invite to the NCAA tournament for the first time in the last 3 years in 2011, but two of their main competitors graduated to the NBA. Since losing them, Georgia has lost most of their offensive touch, scoring just 61.9 ppg with a lousy 39.9 percent field-goal proportion. The Georgia Bulldogs are currently 10-9 total and 1-4 in the SEC.

With the Wildcats averaging 79.5 ppg, and the Georgia Bulldogs at 61.9, it’s no wonder the sports book is favoring Kentucky by 12 points. It might be a bargain taking the Cats, as the game may end up quite handily as a 15- or 20-point blowout. The total is established at 129, but and I would expect this match to go under the total. If Kentucky plays even somewhat bit of defense, the Dogs’ offense may very well be efficiently shut down all night.
