Number 1 rated Kentucky vs the NCAA tournament hopefuls Georgia? Seems like a recipe for a blowout, specifically as Kentucky barely regained that coveted No. 1 berth on the rankings for the first time in the previous 2 months. While the Kentucky Wildcats are on top of the rankings and enjoying an eleven game win streak, the Bulldogs can best be described as sporadic so far in the year.

Sportsbook

The Kentucky Wildcats are 19-1 and 5-0 in the SEC. They are coming off of a particularly unsightly game at home vs Alabama, where they netted their previous 15 points at the foul line. Fortunately, the team is pretty good from the free-throw line, where they landed 23-of-29 to retain the win, 77-71. That win, combined with Syracuse dropping their first game of the season, put Kentucky back on top. Their current eleven game win streak is also their best since going 19-0 throughout the 2009-2010 season.

College football odds

Georgia is going to have its hands full facing the Kentucky 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 2 of their main players advanced to the NBA. Since losing them, Georgia has lost much of their offensive touch, scoring only 61.9 ppg with a pathetic 39.9 percent field-goal proportion. The Bulldogs are currently 10-9 total and 1-4 in the SEC.

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

These two squads have been doing comparatively well this season. This should not be an unanticipated to anybody as both of these colleges are well noted for their share of victories in basketball for plenty of years. These two squads will be at it on the hardwood on January 9, when Western Virginia visits Connecticut.

College football betting

The Western Virginia Mountaineers is coming off an outstanding 21 point win versus Rutgers Knights, in which the senior Darryl Bryant took the Knights to school by dropping 29 points on them, in addition to Kevin Jones who had a good game with 14 points and 14 rebounds. Connecticut alternatively lost their previous game versus the Seton Hall Pirates by 12 points. Jeremy Lamb was still outstanding nevertheless with 19 points.

College football betting

Comparison between these two squads is that West Virginia is just a greater team than Connecticut offensively. Defensively, Connecticut is the greater team, but you have Kevin Jones who averages a double-double for the season and Darryl Bryant who is just a monster offensively, which helps West Virginia get the advantage over Connecticut. Kevin Jones is one of the greater rebounders in the league this year and he’ll hop over individuals to get that rebound. The Huskies do not have anybody that can box this kid out. It ought to be an appealing game to watch although I would not say that this match up in the clash of the titans or anything of that sort.

If I were wagering on this game, I would bet for the Western Virginia Mountaineers winning versus the Connecticut Huskies due to the fact the Huskies do not have anybody on the team that can guard both Kevin Jones and Darryl Bryant. Both of them will make you pay if you leave them undefended. One of them will certainly have a big game on Monday January 9.

While this specific contest might not have the same intensity that its football version does, the Jan 9 – Oklahoma at Oklahoma State game still has its own brand of exhilaration. With the conference basketball year just under way, both the Sooners and Oklahoma State Cowboys will attempt to set the tone for the rest of their year with this match. In Oklahoma’s case, they will be looking to continue what has been a great start as they concluded the non-conference slate with a 10-2 record.

Oklahoma State, alternatively has struggled mightily against their out of conference schedule, putting up a meager 7-6 record so far. Just considering the Sooners appear to be rather somewhat better than the Oklahoma State Cowboys right now doesn’t mean their win is a foregone conclusion. When you take a look at this match through a gambler’s eye, forecasting who will win and by what amount becomes even harder. Neither Oklahoma nor Oklahoma State has precisely set the world on fire when it comes to playing vs the spread. In fact, when you examine the 2 squad’s records vs the spread, the one factor that is obvious is that neither squad is likely to play along with those laying money on the game would hope.

Football odds

Offensively, the Sooners have relied greatly on junior guard Steven Pledger. Pledger has averaged 18.8 points per game so far this year and is shooting a whopping 48.4 percent from three-point land. It is not astonishing that in Oklahoma’s 2 non-conference losses, Pledger struggled, shooting 33 percent, and averaging only 11 points in those matches.

For the Oklahoma State Cowboys, the offensive attack has relied on several competitors, with Keiton Page being the primary go-to man. In the non-conference slate, Page has average 13.6 points per game. Oklahoma State’s number 2 scorer, Le’Bryan Nash is scoring an average of 11.7 points per contest. In order to have a shot at the Sooners, both competitors will need to step up.
