The SEC tournament quarterfinals roll on Friday afternoon with Georgia taking on Kentucky at 3:25 p.m. ET. The Wildcats are favored by 5.5 points, up half-a-point from the opening line. The over-under, or total number of points Vegas thinks will be scored, is 138, also up half-a-point from the open.

Before making any kind of pick, you need to see what SportsLine's advanced computer model has to say.

Last season, the model was an impressive 755-636-20 on A-rated picks, returning $6,529 to any $100 player who followed it. And last time Kentucky took the floor, the model nailed Florida's huge win and cover over Big Blue (+5.5) in an 80-67 final.

Now, it has simulated Kentucky vs. Georgia 10,000 times and its picks and projections are in.

We can tell you the model is calling for 138 points on the nose, but slightly leans to the over being the better value. But its stronger pick is against the spread, saying you can back one side over 60 percent of the time. You can get that pick only at SportsLine.

The model has taken into account Georgia's strong performances in the SEC tournament thus far.

The Bulldogs blew out Vanderbilt in the first round and then edged Missouri, a team playing with a virtual home-court edge in this tournament, in the second round. Even though the Tigers got star player Michael Porter Jr. back for that game and had high hopes, it was the Bulldogs (18-14) who prevailed 62-60.

But while Georgia has gotten off to a hot start in St. Louis, the Wildcats (21-10) have been resting with a double-bye.

Though Kentucky was sporadic this season overall, it did settle down to win four of the last five down the stretch. And the Wildcats always seem to play their best when the SEC tournament rolls around.

They've won three tournaments in a row and have more tournament championships (30) than every other SEC program combined. Kentucky already has a 66-61 victory over Georgia under its belt this season, but that margin of victory would not have covered Friday's spread. 

So which side of Kentucky-Georgia do you need to be all over? Visit SportsLine now to see the point-spread pick that hits over 60 percent of the time, all from the model that has crushed its college basketball picks.
