Why Bet The Kentucky Wildcats

Kentucky (25-5 SU, 15-15 ATS) has won eight consecutive games including their 73-67 win over Vanderbilt on Tuesday despite failing to cover the spread as a 10.5-point home favorite. The Wildcats pulled off the largest comeback in the John Calipari era after rallying from a 19-point deficit to clinch at least tie of its 48th Southeastern Conference championship.

Freshman guard Malik Monk scored a game-high 27 points to lead Kentucky to victory. Kentucky can claim the title outright with a win at Texas A&M on Saturday. “We weren’t desperate enough to start the game,” Kentucky coach John Calipari said. “But I keep telling them, ‘I’m not responsible for your effort, your energy, your fight, you are.’

Why Bet The Texas A&M Aggies

The Aggies (16-13 SU, 11-15 ATS) have won two straight and three of their last four games and come into this matchup off a 60-43 smackdown win over Missouri on Tuesday while easily cover the college basketball betting line as a 3.5-point road favorite.

Texas A&M’s Tonny Trocha-Morelos scored a game-high 18 points and J.C. Hampton added 13 and the Aggies limited Mizzou to just 24.6 percent shooting from the field to sweep the regular season series.

Expert Pick & Final Score Prediction

The Wildcats are the ‘super easy’ pick seeing as how they beat the hell out of Texas A&M 100-58 on Jan. 3 to cash in as a 14.5-point home favorite. This time around, the Wildcats will likely be favored by at least 10 points, but it won’t matter as Kentucky wins by 20.
