Premium Pick

John Calipari has recruited perhaps the best class year in and year out since he took the reigns at Kentucky. The talent is undeniably top shelf every year, what it comes down to is team chemistry and how the new pieces fit together, as he has a lot of one-and-done or two-and-done caliber players. That changes the face of the team every year, and while this class is talented, they may be a bit overrated. The Wildcats have already suffered three losses on the season and are just 5-9 ATS through 14 games. They have lost by 7, 10 and most recently 18 points. To put that in perspective, the Wildcats lost just six total games over the last three years by more than six points, and just two by 10 points or more, a mark they have already equalled. Alabama is 9-4, but has played just three true home games on the season. They will be bringing the "A" game against a Wildcats team that is very good, but carries too much of a reputation, which has the line in favor of the home team. Take the points on Alabama.
