Point Spread:
Kentucky vs. Georgia, West Virginia vs. Cincinnati
College football Week 12 point
spread and odds preview of the games Kentucky vs. Georgia and
West Virginia vs. Cincinnati.
On Saturday the No.22 Kentucky Wildcats (7-3) will
visit the No.8 Georgia Bulldogs (8-2) to try and repeat
the victory from last year. But the odds makers aren't quite
confident the Wildcats will be able to beat the Bulldogs and at
Bodog Sports the point
spread on the Kentucky vs. Georgia game is currently
favoring the Bulldogs -7.5 points. Although Kentucky beat
Georgia 24-20 last year, the Wildcats haven't won a game when
visiting the Bulldogs in over 30 years. Kentucky is 6-3 against
the spread in its last 9 games, but Georgia is 4-1 ATS in its
last 5 games when playing Kentucky.
A win is a must for the Georgia Bulldogs
in order to continue their lead in the SEC East standings, with
Tennessee breathing down their neck and scheduled for an easy
game against the last Vanderbilt this Saturday. Kentucky, on the
other side, are still in the SEC race and will not give up
without a fight. The Wildcats lead on the Bulldogs in total
offense with 449.3 yards, compared to 393.2 yards per game by
Georgia, as well as point scored at 37.7 to 32.8 per game.
Kentucky running backs Tony Dixon and Rafael Little are
questionable for the Week 12 match-up and the defensively
stronger Georgia could cover the -7.5 point spread. At
Bookmaker Kentucky is listed
with underdog odds +255 and the Bulldogs are favorite with
betting odds -305.
Another top-tier college football game
is the match-up between No.5 West Virginia (8-1) and
No.21 Cincinnati (8-2). Smaller betting numbers on this
game, at
Bodog Sports the point
spread for the West Virginia vs. Cincinnati game is
currently sitting at -6.5 points chalk the Mountaineers,
considering the last time these two teams met, West Virginia won
by 18 points 42-24. The small spread could be explained with the
better performance shown this season by the Bearcats and the
West Virginia wide receiver Will Johnson and line backer Archie
Sims remain questionable, while Cincinnati has no injuries to
report so far this week.
The two college football teams match-up
well statistically, the Mountaineers edging Cincinnati in total
defense, allowing only 291.8 yards per game, compared to the
Bearcats at 372 yards on average allowed. But West Virginia and
Cincinnati are allowing 16.7 and 16.4 points respectively,
placing them 3rd and 2nd in the Big East. The posted point
spread is anyone's game, as both Cincinnati and West Virginia
are chasing the top spot in the conference. At Bookmaker the
odds also favor West Virginia at -255 and Cincinnati is underdog
with betting odds +215.
