Current form is very important when handicapping college hoops. As you can see from the model’s predictions above, when taking into the account the entire season, Alabama is the play. However, when only looking at the last 7 and or the last 4 games, the model likes Kentucky by 10+ points.
The Wildcats are playing slightly above their season ratings while the Tide have been playing well below theirs. We’ll take Kentucky here for the upset.
Kentucky +1.5
