Online Betting Picks – Road Weary Kentucky Takes On Arkansas

There’s been much ado made about Kentucky’s ridiculous record on the road, but people should remember that they’ve been struggling without their top recruit all season long and that in itself was a reason to be cautious around Calipari’s boys in college basketball online betting picks.

The Wildcats are becoming as well known for recruiting the best point guards, as well as solid big man, and without Enes Kanter in the lineup things have been shaky when they don’t have the hometown backing of the fans.

As such, the Wildcats have gone 1-5 SU and ATS in their last 6 games on the road. Typically, Arkansas has never been a basketball powerhouse and that would usually invite a pretty large line (like the one in the bonus picks). However, keep in mind that Kentucky is also a very strong 9-0 SU and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games against the Razorbacks.

That doesn’t necessarily excuse Kentucky’s woeful 5-3 SU and 3-5 ATS record in online betting picks over their last 8 games, but it at least gives you reason to hope. On the road, they’ve averaged a -3.4 point differential in losing games so things aren’t that bad, but it’s much smarter to tip toe around Kentucky than it was last year when they were an undeniable powerhouse.

College Basketball Online Betting Spread: Kentucky -7.0

Aside from Kentucky’s sheer dominance of Arkansas, it should also be pointed out that the Razorbacks are one of the worst SEC bets you can make in online betting picks. At just 5-10-1 ATS overall this season, it’s not exactly a safe thing to just go against Kentucky because they’ve struggled on the road.

Arkansas seems like the logical play simply from a counter point stance. Kentucky’s bad on the road, so Arkansas should be the pick, right? Not really. The Razorbacks are still 2-4 SU in their last 6 games and just 1-4 ATS and winless in their last 5 games when playing Kentucky.

The oddsmakers have usually been off in this matchup and despite struggling in their travels, I am more than willing to give Kentucky the benefit of the doubt in online betting picks when they’re specifically playing Arkansas.

ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE -17.5 over Auburn Tigers

The Tigers are just 1-13 SU in their last 14 road games, and while that has led to some mega value lines on occasion, this game isn’t one of htem. Auburn is 4-2-1 ATS on the road this season, but are also 2-9 SU in their last 11 games when rolling with the Tide.

It should encourage you that Auburn is just 1-4 SU and 2-3 ATS in their past 5 games, while Alabama is a stiff 7-0 SU and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games.

A giant line is tempting, but the safe bet is to take the Alabama Crimson Tide in online betting picks simply because of this particular season The Tide are better than you’d think, especially at home.
