admin — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 06:17:32 +0000

Number one ranked Kentucky against the NCAA tournament hopefuls Georgia? Sounds like a recipe for a crushing defeat, especially as Kentucky just barely regained that desired No. 1 berth on the rankings for the 1st time in the earlier 2 months. Whereas the Kentucky Wildcats are ahead of the rankings and enjoying an eleven game win streak, the Bulldogs can best be termed sporadic to date in the season.

Online sportsbook

Kentucky is 19-1 and 5-0 in the SEC. They’re coming off of a particularly unsightly game at home against Alabama, where they garnered their prior 15 points at the foul line. Fortunately, the team is fairly great from the free-throw line, where they landed 23-of-29 to keep hold of the win, 77-71. That win, joined with Syracuse dropping their 1st game of the season, put Kentucky back ahead. Their recent eleven game win streak is furthermore their greatest since going 19-0 during the 2009-2010 season.

College football betting

Georgia is going to have its hands full struggling with the Kentucky Wildcats on Tuesday, January 24. The Bulldogs garnered an invite to the NCAA tournament for the 1st time in the last three years in 2011, but 2 of their main competitors graduated to the NBA. Since losing them, Georgia has lost much of their offensive touch, scoring simply 61.9 points per game with a terrible 39.9 percent field-goal percentage. The Bulldogs are presently 10-9 total and 1-4 in the SEC.

With the Kentucky Wildcats averaging 79.5 points per game, and the Bulldogs at 61.9, it’s not surprising the sports book is favoring the Wildcats by 12 points. It could be a bargain taking the Wildcats, as the game might end up very effortlessly as a 15- or 20-point blowout. The total is set at 129, but and I would expect this game to go under the total. If Kentucky performs even somewhat bit of defense, the Dogs’ offense could be properly shut down all evening.

Connecticut Huskies versus West Virginia Mountaineers in NCAA Basketball Betting

admin — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 01:34:15 +0000

These two teams have been doing relatively well this season. This should not be an unexpected to any person as both of these colleges are well known for their share of victories in basketball for a lot of years. Both these teams will be at it out on the hardwood on January 9, when Western Virginia visits Connecticut.

College football odds

The Mountaineers is coming off an extraordinary 21 point win vs Rutgers Scarlet Knights, where the senior Darryl Bryant took the Knights to task by dropping 29 points on them, in addition to Kevin Jones who had a good game with 14 points and 14 rebounds. Connecticut on the flip side lost their earlier game vs the Seton Hall Pirates by 12 points. Jeremy Lamb was still extraordinary even so with 19 points.

Sportsbook

Comparison between these two teams is that West Virginia is just a better squad than Connecticut offensively. Defensively, Connecticut is the better squad, but you have Kevin Jones who averages a double-double for the season and Darryl Bryant who’s just a monster offensively, which will help West Virginia get the edge over Connecticut. Kevin Jones is among the better rebounders in the league this year and he’ll hop over people to get that rebound. The Connecticut Huskies do not have any person that can box this kid out. I would not say that this match up in the clash of the titans or anything of that sort, but it should be a fascinating game to watch.

If I were gambling on this match, I would bet for the Mountaineers winning vs the Connecticut Huskies because the Connecticut Huskies do not have any person on the squad that can guard both Kevin Jones and Darryl Bryant. Both of them can make you pay if you leave them undefended. One of them will definitely have a big game on Monday January 9.

Neither Oklahoma nor Oklahoma State has exactly lit the world on fire when it comes to competing against the spread.
