Kentucky vs Georgia Prediction & Pick

Kentucky has Georgia beat on both ends of the court. The Wildcats score at a solid 75.1 PPG clip (T-No. 67) while only allowing an average of 67.7 points (No. 105). Meanwhile, the Bulldogs average 69.9 PPG (T-No. 197) and surrender 69.1 PPG (No. 144).

It's also hard to trust Georgia when it's been outscored by an average of 16.7 points during its three-game skid. Opponents are also shooting 49.7% from the field over that stretch and now the Bulldogs must face the Wildcats, who have a 46.6% field-goal percentage over their last three games. I just don't see Kentucky's offense being slowed down at all today.

Considering how Kentucky has also won 16 of its last 17 games against Georgia, I fully expect the Bulldogs' losing streak to continue for at least one more game.

Final Score Prediction: Kentucky: 75 | Georgia: 64

Kentucky vs Georgia Best Bet

I'm going with Kentucky as the -7.5 favorite for this game's best bet. After all, Georgia has been horrendous against the spread, going 0-7 ATS in its last seven games. On top of that, the Bulldogs are 0-5 ATS in their last five SEC contests and have failed to cover the spread in each of their last eight games played in February.

Meanwhile, Kentucky has covered the spread in six of its last eight games while boasting a 6-1 ATS record in its last seven SEC matchups. As long as the Wildcats stick to their game plan, they should beat the Bulldogs by a decent chunk.

Bet: Kentucky -7.5 (-110)
