The Georgia Bulldogs statistically rank as the worst team in the SEC. Las Vegas doesn’t foresee them pulling off a massive upset on Saturday against an intraconference foe.

No. 16 Kentucky Men’s Basketball (11-3) has opened up as a 22-point favorite to take down Georgia (5-9) tomorrow night at Rupp Arena, per VegasInsider. The over/under has been set at 148.

In the 2021-22 season, Kentucky is 7-7 against the spread while Georgia is 4-9-1. ESPN’s Matchup Predictor gives the ‘Cats a confidently high 97.8 percent chance to pull out the win.

Tom Crean and his Georgia squad will come to Lexington off of a two-point loss to a good Texas A&M opponent on Tuesday. That being said, UGA has dropped four of its last five outings that included losses to the likes of George Mason, East Tennessee St., and Gardner Webb along with the Aggies. UK head coach John Calipari previewed the matchup earlier on Friday, which you can catch up on here.

Kentucky has won nine games this season by at least 22 points, however, the ‘Cats have only covered the closing spread in four of those outings.

Happy betting, folks
