 ESPN will feature two of the top-25 team in the country tonight when the #22 Michigan Wolverines travel to take on the Purdue Boilersmakers at 7:00pm EST and will then be followed by the #1 Kentucky Wildcats on the road against the Georgia Bulldogs at 9:00pm EST with both games also being streamed online at ESPN3. The Wildcats enter Tuesday's game at Stegeman Coliseum having won eleven straight games for a 19-1 overall record going 5-0 in the SEC conference while the Bulldogs haven't fared as well going 1-4 in their last five games for a 10-9 record on the year going 1-4 in the SEC. Kentucky vs Georgia odds at Vegas sportsbooks and offshore are expecting the Wildcats to easily win on the road tonight as 12-point favorites against the Bulldogs while college basketball predictions for the over/under betting total has been listed at 129. For those looking to play the moneyline instead of the point spread, you would have to lay -800 on Kentucky while a home upset by Georgia would return a hefty +600 (6/1) on a $100 wager. The Wildcats turned in a 40-point second half performance last Saturday to defeat the Alabama Crimson Tide by a score of 77-71 at Rupp Arena for a perfect 14-0 home record. Kentucky won the game by 6-points but couldn't cover the spread once again being listed as 10-point favorites to go a horrible 5-14 ATS on the year. Sophomore F Terrence Jones had the hot hand for the Wildcats netting 15-points and 6-rebounds while Freshman F Anthony Davis added 11-points and 9-rebounds in the win. The Wildcats leading scorer, Doron Lamb, had a quiet night with 14-points but college basketball predictions are expecting the Sophomore to have strong game tonight having averaged 18.5-points vs the Bulldogs in last year's series. Kentucky vs Georgia odds and betting trends favor the Wildcats since recently going 8-2 on the road and 12-4 vs the Bulldogs but are a dismal 1-4 ATS in their last five road games. The Georgia Bulldogs are heavy underdogs in tonight's ESPN basketball match-up having one of the most inconsistent seasons having lost four straight then winning five in a row before dropping the last four out of five games. The Bulldogs are coming off a 63-66 home loss to the Ole Miss Rebels last Saturday as 2.5-point betting favorites to also drop to a miserable 7-8 ATS mark for the year. Freshman G Kentavious Caldwell-Pope lit up the net with 25-points and 5-rebounds vs Ole Miss while Senior G Gerald Robinson had 19-points, 6-assists and 4-rebounds. Georgia found the bucket for only 23-first half points in the loss to the Rebels and finished shooting 23-63 (.365) from the floor averaging a conference worst 61.9-points per game. Looking at the handicapping trends for tonight's game on ESPN, Kentucky vs Georgia odds have the Bulldogs recently gone a respectable 5-2 when playing at home but are 2-5 against the spread at home vs the Wildcats and 4-12 straight up. College Basketball Predictions: UNDER 129 Kentucky Wildcats (19-1 SU, 5-14 ATS) vs Georgia Bulldogs (10-9 SU, 7-8 ATS) |
