There has been something of a power shift in the SEC this season, as perennial powerhouse Kentucky have been shuffled down the ranks a little. The Wildcats are not having things go their way at the moment, and they will have another tough challenge on their hands when they welcome the Florida Gators into Rupp Arena in Lexington on Saturday, February 6. Remember to check out other betting lines for College Basketball by clicking here.
It may seem hard to believe, but the Wildcats (16-6, 6-3) are in real danger of dropping out of the top 25 after this week’s games. They are currently ranked #20, but a loss to Tennessee earlier in the week means that they may be unranked by the time the new rankings are revealed. This is not how things were supposed to go in Kentucky this year, but there is still time to turn things around, and that has to begin with a win over Florida. The Wildcats have lost two in a row, but the play of Jamal Murray has not wavered, as the young man averaged 18 PPG in those losses. He may have to put the rest of the team on his shoulders and carry them through the weekend. The Wildcats are averaging 78.1 PPG, and are giving up 68.3 PPG.

In recent years, you would expect the Kentucky Wildcats to emerge as clear favorites for this type of game, but this is not like any other year. The Wildcats are floundering at the moment, and you can bet that the Gators can smell the blood in the water. There may be a chance to cash in on that when the odds for this game go live on the Xbet.ag NCAA basketball betting page.Why Bet on the Florida Gators
The Florida Gators (15-7, 6-3) are a team brimming with confidence after a pair of really impressive back to back wins. The got things rolling over the weekend with a dominant win over the #9 ranked West Virginia Mountaineers, and then kept it going with a victory over the Arkansas Razorbacks earlier this week. The win against West Virginia was particularly special, as it was the first time that the Gators had beaten a ranked opponent this season. They had come close a couple of times prior to that, particularly against Texas A&M, who they came up just short of in a 71-68 loss. Those two games should let Kentucky know that they are in for a battle this coming weekend. The gators are averaging 75.0 PPG, and are giving up 65.8 PPG.Why Bet on the Kentucky Wildcats
