    College Basketball Betting - Kentucky

    A Top 25 matchup gets the ESPN spotlight on Tuesday night as Florida visits Kentucky. It is the biggest game so far this year in the SEC between the two best teams in the conference. The Wildcats are favored in Kentucky basketball odds at Diamond Sportsbook.

    Kentucky Home Winning Streak at 48

    The Wildcats are unbeaten at home this season having won 14 games and they currently have the longest home unbeaten streak in the country at 48 games. What you may not know about Kentucky is that while they win straight up at home they have been a disaster to bettors. Those who have been wagering on Kentucky basketball odds and taking the Wildcats in home games have been taking a bath this season. The Wildcats are 3-10-1 ATS at home this season.

    Florida Believes They are Ready

    Not many teams go into Kentucky and win as we have just noted but Florida believes they are ready. The Gators have won six straight games to get to 19-4 overall and 7-1 in the SEC. “I’m very excited with this team,” Florida’s Kenny Boynton said, “We've got the team to do it.” The Gators have won seven straight SEC games, their longest conference winning streak in five years. “We have the swag that we’re going to go in there and compete hard and try to get a win,” said Florida’s Bradley Beal about Tuesday’s game. “We're not going in with doubts or anything like that just because they are Kentucky. We’ll go in and play hard and play our style of basketball.”

    Series Notes

    The Wildcats have won six of the last ten in the series against Florida but they are just 3-6-1 ATS in those games. Kentucky is 7-3 SU and 5-4-1 ATS at home against Florida in the last ten home games. Four of the last six have gone under the total.

    College Basketball Predictions

    The Gators are getting points on Tuesday and they have the team to keep this close. We’ll take Florida and look for them to be competitive and have a chance to win this outright. You will want to follow BetDSI on Twitter for daily sports betting news updates.
