SportsLine's advanced computer model simulated Tuesday's Kentucky-Arkansas game 10,000 times
SEC and NCAA Tournament positioning will be on the line Tuesday when Arkansas hosts Kentucky for a 9 p.m. ET tip that will be nationally televised. The Razorbacks are favored by four points, down one from the opening line. The over-under, or total number of points Vegas thinks will be scored, is 153, unchanged the the open.
Before locking in your picks for such a huge Southeastern Conference game, you need to see what SportsLine's advanced computer model is picking.
Last season, the model was an impressive 755-636-20 on its A-rated picks, returning $6,529 to any $100 player who followed it.
That wasn't a fluke, either. With the NCAA Tournament just around the corner, the model is heating up this season as well, coming into the week on a blistering 12-6 run on its college basketball picks. Anybody who has been following those picks is way, way up.
Now the model has simulated Kentucky vs. Arkansas 10,000 times and locked in its picks.
We can tell you it is projecting 155 total points to be scored, meaning the over clears by two points.
But its stronger pick for this matchup is Its top-rated selection for one side of the spread that it says you can bank on almost 65 percent of the time. You can get that pick only over at SportsLine.
The model has taken into account Kentucky's recent slide that includes four losses in its past five games. The Wildcats finally stopped the bleeding over the weekend with a victory over Alabama in Lexington, but they uncharacteristically sit at just 7-7 in conference play.
They need to perform well down the stretch to guarantee an at-large NCAA Tournament spot. A victory at Arkansas, a top-25 RPI team, would go a long way in that area.
But just because the Wildcats really need this victory doesn't mean they'll be able to go on the road and get it, or even stay within the spread.
Kentucky is just 10-16 against the spread this season, while Arkansas is winning 60 percent of games against the spread at home.
Led by a high-octane offense that averages 82.8 points, Arkansas has now won four in a row, three of which have come at home.
