BetAnySports’ NCAAB Tuesday Pick of the Day

No. 1 Kentucky Wildcats vs. Tennessee Volunteers This Tuesday night at Thompson-Boling Arena, the No. 1 Kentucky Wildcats will go on the road to put their straight-up 25-game winning streak on the line against Tennessee. BetAnySports has opened the Wildcats as heavy 14-point favorites in this SEC clash. The Wildcats are coming off one of their most complete victories in the past few weeks after crushing South Carolina 77-43 this past Saturday as prohibitive 18.5-point home favorites on BetAnySports’ closing betting odds. It was the first time that Kentucky covered against the spread in its last six contests and the total stayed UNDER the closing 121-point line after going OVER in its previous five games. When everything is clicking for the Wildcats it is hard to see any team in the nation beating this team. They are averaging 73.6 points per game behind a deep lineup that boasts seven different players scoring at least seven points a game. Defensively, the Wildcats are ranked second in the nation in points allowed (51.8 PPG). They are shooting 46.3 percent from the field and pulling down an average of 38.6 rebounds a game. Tennessee is coming off an ugly 73-55 loss to LSU this past Saturday after closing as a 2.5- point home favorite on BetAnySports’ betting odds. It was its fifth SU loss in its last seven games while going 3-4 ATS. The Volunteers are now a costly 2-11 ATS in 13 home games this season, but they remain a solid bet as underdogs with a 6-3 record ATS in nine previous contests. The trio of Josh Richardson, Armani Moore and Kevin Punter have provided the bulk of the production on offense this season for Tennessee. Each is scoring in double figures with Richardson leading the way with 16 PPG while shooting 46.2 percent from the field. The Volunteers are averaging 64.2 PPG and hitting 43.2 percent of their shots from the floor. At the other end of the court, they are giving-up an average of 63.6 points to their opponents. Kentucky should have little problem extending its winning streak this Tuesday night, but I am not overly confident it can cover another huge spread on the road. The Wildcats are 3-4 ATS on the road this season and they are just 1-4 ATS in their last five games against Tennessee. Take the 14 points on BetAnySports’ current betting spread with a play on the home-town Volunteers in this one.
