Kentucky vs Oklahoma Predictions, Odds and Best Bet Today: Wildcats (-3) ATS Pick

While Kentucky is taking on an Oklahoma team that has lost five of its last six, the Wildcats are just 3-point favorites in NCAAB betting lines on Wednesday. It is incredibly difficult to win on the road in what has been a buzzsaw of an SEC conference.

 

Kentucky vs Oklahoma Prediction Today

Kentucky has fallen victim to an unbelievably strong SEC, sitting at just .500 in conference play. While they have strong wins, headlined by sweeping Tennessee, the Wildcats are buried in the standings behind the conference’s elites. Per Kentucky vs Oklahoma stats, most of the Wildcats’ struggles have come away from Rupp Arena, 2-6 in true road games.

This could fall into the lap of the Sooners, who were perfect entering conference play, but have lost 10 of 14 games in the SEC. But Oklahoma is 11-4 at Lloyd Noble Center, including its most recent win against Mississippi State.

Top 3 Kentucky vs Oklahoma Betting Picks

1. Bet Kentucky ML -155

One area that will give Kentucky the edge is on the boards. Oklahoma is dead-last in the SEC in total rebounding while Kentucky brings in a strong 39 boards per contest, led by big man and Drexel-transfer Amari Williams. While the Wildcats’ opponents have had some success on the boards, Oklahoma is unlikely to take advantage. We will go with the Cats in our NCAAB predictions.

Bet this pick: Kentucky ML -155

 

2. Kentucky ATS -3

In the last three Wildcats’ wins, they have also covered the college basketball spread, but have all come at Rupp Arena. Oklahoma has not fared well ATS of late whether in or out of Norman. The Sooners obviously covered in their underdog win against Mississippi State, but it was their first cover in five games.

We will stick with the NCAAB betting trends here on both sides of the aisle and believe the Wildcats will get over the road woes and take down a struggling Sooners squad that has failed to keep up with the best of the SEC.

Bet this pick: Kentucky -3

 

3. Kentucky vs Oklahoma Over 161.5

Kentucky is third in the nation scoring 85.7 points per game. Neither team is strong defensively. Oklahoma allows an average of 73.5 points while Kentucky sits outside the top-300 in the nation, allowing 76.4.

While not toward the top of the nation, Oklahoma scores a solid 77.7 per game. The combination of Kentucky’s elite offense and both team’s poor defense means a shootout could be on the horizon. Take the over in college basketball picks.

Bet this pick: Kentucky vs Oklahoma Over 161.5
