Kentucky vs Arkansas Prediction | College Basketball Betting Picks

Arkansas has put together a heck of a resume with plenty of impressive home wins. With a chance for another statement win on deck, it’s hard to bet against the Razorbacks. Kentucky does provide a tough challenge as they have been rolling lately and are elite on both sides of the ball.

Arkansas is the hot team, but for spells over the past two games, it looks to be starting to wane. It’s not easy to stop Kentucky forward Oscar Tshiebwe and Arkansas will have their hands full all game. Kentucky will probably win this game which is why them being the underdogs currently is mindboggling. Take Kentucky to cover the spread.
