Why Kentucky can cover
The Wildcats are off to a strong start in their first year of the post-John Calipari era as Mark Pope has guided Kentucky to a 12-2 season. Pope went 110-52 (.679) over five years at BYU before taking over at Kentucky. The Wildcats won five of their last six games, most recently defeating No. 6 Florida, 106-100, in a top-10 battle on Saturday. The Wildcats have the No. 2 scoring offense in the nation (90.2 ppg) as they are scoring even more this season than they did under Calipari.
Junior guard Otega Oweh leads a loaded Kentucky backcourt at 15.9 ppg as one of four guards averaging more than 12 ppg this season. Fifth-year senior Lamont Butler is second on the team in scoring (13.8 ppg) and leads in assists (4.4 per game) and steals (1.7 per game) as the main offensive facilitator for the Wildcats after spending his first four seasons at San Diego State. Kentucky has had four different leading scorers over its last four games, making the Wildcats one of the toughest teams to game plan against. See which team to pick here.
Why Georgia can cover
The Bulldogs are coming off their first 20-win season since the 2015-16 campaign last year as head coach Michael White has quickly transformed Georgia into more than just a football school. White took over a 6-26 Georgia team and went 16-16 in his first year in the 2022-23 season before going 20-17 last year. White made four NCAA Tournaments in seven seasons at Florida before becoming Georgia’s head coach and with a 12-2 start, the Bulldogs appear on their way to their first back-to-back 20-win seasons in a decade.
Asa Newell, a true freshman and the No. 19 overall player in the Class of 2024 by 247Sports, leads the Bulldogs in scoring (15.4 ppg) and rebounding (6.9). The 6-foot-11 forward is coming off his third double-double of the season with 13 points and 13 rebounds against Ole Miss on Saturday. Georgia has the No. 24 scoring defense (64.1 ppg) behind the No. 19 3-point defense (28.5%) while ranking 23rd in opponent overall shooting percentage (38.7%). The Bulldogs have five players averaging more than 10 ppg this season so behind multiple scoring options and a stout defense, Georgia can challenge Kentucky. See which team to pick here.
