Number one ranked Kentucky against the NCAA competition hopefuls Georgia? Appears like a recipe for a crushing defeat, particularly as Kentucky barely regained that coveted No. 1 berth on the rankings for the first time in the prior 2 months. While the Wildcats are ahead of the rankings and enjoying an 11 game win streak, the Bulldogs can best be called inconsistent thus far in the season.
College football betting
Kentucky is 19-1 and 5-0 in the SEC. They are coming off of a particularly unpleasant game at home versus Alabama, where they garnered their previous fifteen points at the foul line. Thankfully, the team is fairly excellent from the free-throw line, where they landed 23-of-29 to hold onto the win, 77-71. That win, coupled with Syracuse dropping their first game of the season, put Kentucky back ahead. Their current 11 game win streak is furthermore their greatest since going 19-0 throughout the 2009-2010 season.

Georgia will have its hands full facing the Wildcats on Tuesday, January 24. The Bulldogs garnered an invite to the NCAA competition for the first time in the last three years in 2011, but 2 of their main competitors advanced to the NBA. Since losing them, Georgia has lost much of their offensive touch, scoring just 61.9 points per game with a lousy 39.9 percent field-goal ratio. The Bulldogs are currently 10-9 total and 1-4 in the SEC.
With the Wildcats averaging 79.5 points per game, and the Bulldogs at 61.9, it is not surprising the sportsbook is favoring Kentucky by 12 points. It could be a bargain taking the Cats, as the game may wind up pretty effortlessly as a 15- or 20-point blowout. The total is established at 129, but and I would expect this game to go under the total. If Kentucky plays even a bit bit of defense, the Bulldogs’ offense might be properly shut down all evening.
