(NCAAB) Kentucky vs. Arkansas,
Point Spread: 3.50 | -110.00 Arkansas (Home)
Result: Loss
The public has already overreacted backing Kentucky off a loss but the contrarian in us just smiles at the value. You can look at the Wildcats two ways: #1 is the team that went 45-1 last year and the first 7 games this year OR the team that lost 4 players to last years top 13 picks in the draft (picks #1, #6, #12 & #13) and now is struggling playing conference opponents as they are ONLY 6-4 SU their last 10 games and are 4-10 their last 14 ATS. Kentucky doesn't consider this a big game as their goal is too tweak their lineup to peek in March but for Arkansas this is a marquee game. At 9-5 most won't consider the Razorbacks a threat but they are also 6-4 their last 10 while covering 8 of those and when comparing SEC losses the Hogs lost at LSU by 2 and UK lost there by 18 and Arkansas second loss was versus the SEC's only undefeated team, A&M while UK lost at Auburn.47.4%.
