Kentucky vs. Oklahoma CBB Prediction:
I’m taking the ‘Cats. Kentucky has won four out of its last five games overall at the betting window. The Wildcats did fail to cover as a 12-point road underdog against Alabama in their last matchup, but they failed to cover by a single point. On the other side, the Sooners have lost five out of their last six games straight up. They have also lost five out of their last six games at the betting window.
