Vegas Play of the Day: Georgia at Kentucky

Here’s the latest installment of the Play of the Day, which uses odds from the South Point. Our three sports writers started with a $10,000 bankroll — fictional, of course.

Kentucky minus-18 vs. Georgia: $550 to win $500 : Marcus Thornton, Georgia’s leading scorer and rebounder, will miss his second straight game with a concussion. Without him in the lineup Saturday, Georgia lost 67-50 as 4-point betting favorites at South Carolina. That means undefeated Kentucky, the nation’s No. 1 ranked team, will have no problems also winning by a lopsided margin.

Kentucky has 10 players who would be starters and stars at other programs. Georgia lacks player depth. When the game is turned over to the reserves, Kentucky will roll. Laying 18 points isn’t an ideal wager, but in this instance, it's not that big of a risk. Georgia is outclassed.

Standings: Bern (66-54-1, $12,666), Keefer (64-64-2, $9,987), Brewer (57-64-3, $6,085)
