Number 1 ranked Kentucky vs the NCAA tournament hopefuls Georgia? Sounds like a recipe for a crushing defeat, particularly as Kentucky just barely regained that coveted No. 1 berth on the rankings for the first time in the previous 2 months. Whilst the Wildcats are ahead of the rankings and savoring an eleven game win streak, the Bulldogs can best be called inconsistent to date in the season.

The Kentucky Wildcats are 19-1 and 5-0 in the SEC. They are coming off of a especially ugly game at home against Alabama, where they won their prior 15 points at the foul line. Luckily, the team is pretty great from the free-throw line, where they landed 23-of-29 to keep the win, 77-71. That victory, combined with Syracuse dropping their first game of the year, put Kentucky back ahead. Their recent eleven game win streak is furthermore their best since going 19-0 throughout the 2009-2010 year.

Georgia will have its hands full dealing with the Wildcats on Tuesday, January 24. The Bulldogs won an invite to the NCAA tournament for the first time in the last 3 years in 2011, but 2 of their primary players moved on to the NBA. Since losing them, Georgia has lost a lot of their offensive touch, scoring simply 61.9 points per game with a lousy 39.9 percent field-goal proportion. The Bulldogs are now 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’s no wonder the sportsbook is favoring Kentucky by 12 points. It could be a good deal taking the Wildcats, as the game could wind 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 performs even a bit bit of defense, the Dogs’ offense might be effectively shut down all evening.
