Blistering hot sports handicapper Matt Rivers has Kentucky minus the small price of 4.5 points at the sportsbook.
This price is too cheap, I don't care if the game is in the state of Tennessee, this price is too darn cheap. The Volunteers are playing a third game in three days and Kentucky is a bunch of young kids that have played one game and not a very good game making me believe that John Calipari will get in his teams' ear and really motivate the fellas.
Alabama led for most of the game yesterday and really could have shocked the world. But John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins and the ridiculously talented Wildcats prevailed in the end as they seem to do pretty much all the time.
KU's last loss came in Knoxville and if you don't think that has weighed heavily on the team as a whole then you are crazy. The 'Cats avenged the loss in South Carolina with the home win a few weeks ago against Devan Downey and the Gamecocks and on Saturday will do the same against Wayne Chism and the good but far from great Volunteers.
I like Bruce Pearl a ton as a coach. He righted the ship after all of the off the court issues and suspensions and has his team back on course looking like a top 20 or so squad. But they are still a team that struggled mightily against a terrible LSU team in their SEC tournament opener and are also a group that has got to be a little gassed here in this spot playing so many minutes and now being up against probably the most talented team in the entire country that can run them out of the gym.
The Vols are solid and may even believe they can win this game but after 40 minutes the fresher and more talented team will get some revenge for what happened in Knoxville a few weeks back.
This number should be more like a touchdown and I'll take advantage of that.The pick: Kentucky at BetUs
