ALABAMA +9
This looks like a lot of points for what figures to be a low scoring, physical matchup. Kentucky has had more close shaves this season than Gillette, winning seven games by five points or less and three by a single-digit.
The Tide will miss leading scorer scorer Gerald Fitch while the Crimson Tide will be benefit from the return of their best marksman, Earnest Shelton. Shelton played for the first time last Wednesday after missing three games and scored 23 when Bama enxtended South Carolina into OT before bowing.
Like the fact that the Tide is well rested while Kentucky is fresh off an emotional win over the Gamecocks on Saturday. The Wildcats are 4-8 ATS in their last dozen while Alabama has cashed three of its last four on the road. Every game for the Tide is a must win if they plan on dancing in March.
