Premium Pick

Kentucky Coach John Calipari has his usual team of stars, that in many cases will be one and done. His current group is off to a 12-2 start losing only to Louisville and UCLA. Arkansas is off to a similar 12-2 start on the season. The Hiogs are of an upset win on the road at Tennessee and have been better than advertised to start the season. Arkansas can cause some problems out on the perimeter as they shoot 37.3% from deep, good enough to keep themselves inside the big line here. The line here is way out of proportion, as Kentucky, once you get past game 12, facing a team better than .850, has never been favored by double-digits of more than 11.5, and the 2 times they have been favored by 10+ they are 0-2 ATS. Make the play on Arkansas.
