Top-ranked Kentucky will try and remain unbeaten as they face South Carolina on Tuesday in ESPN’s feature college basketball wagering game at 9:00pm ET. The Wildcats are the only unbeaten team in the country at 19-0. They routed Arkansas on Saturday and seem to be getting better as the season goes along. “I think we would have beat any team (Saturday). Everybody came to play. Our bench stepped in and gave 100 percent. This is the best we have played all year and when we play like that, nobody can beat us,” guard Eric Bledsoe said. “We played defense and it carried over to our offense.” Kentucky is a 6.5 point sports wagering lines favorite at SBG Global Sportsbook.
Bledsoe, John Wall and his teammates should get a challenge from South Carolina who is led by Devan Downey who is averaging almost 22 points per game. “I like guarding the best player on the opposite team. I don’t care who it is. If you can play, you are still going to have to show me you can beat me,” Bledsoe said. “We didn’t let Clark do much against us. That’s what we will hopefully do against Downey.”
The concern for Kentucky this college basketball wagering season has been letting down after building big leads. That did not happen on Saturday in their rout of Arkansas. “Once we started getting up, we start playing like we don’t have to play no more, so me and John started telling everybody just to keep playing hard and not let up. I think that kind of helped us and we stretched the lead out. That’s what we have to do every game,” Bledsoe said.
There is no question that Kentucky is getting better. And the players don’t seem satisfied. “We are not satisfied with being No. 1. That is the good thing about this team. We are never going to get complacent. Everybody comes in and we just work hard. No matter what drill we are doing, everybody will go hard.” Bledsoe added.
South Carolina has really not shown much this college basketball wagering lines season. They are 11-8 overall and 7-9 against the spread. They are coming off losses at Florida and Mississippi. The Gamecocks are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The Wildcats are 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings at South Carolina. The road team in this series is 7-2 ATS in the last 9 meetings.

The question now becomes how Tennessee will do on the road. They face an Alabama team that has lost two straight including 71-59 to Arkansas on Saturday. "Over the course of the game, I thought (Arkansas’) toughness and character really showed itself," head coach Anthony Grant said, "We did not meet the challenge the way we needed to meet the challenge collectively and individually."
The last time Tennessee traveled to Alabama was two years ago and they came away with a 93-86 win. The Volunteers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 college basketball wagering lines games overall. The Crimson Tide are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games. The Volunteers are 1-6 ATS in the last 7 meetings at Alabama.
Ten of the last 13 Tennessee games vs. SEC teams have gone under the total. The Under is 21-7 in the Volunteers last 28 overall and the Under is 20-7 in the Volunteers last 27 road games. The Under is 5-0 in Alabama’s last 5 overall. The Under is 6-2 in Alabama’s last 8 home games but the over in this series is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings at Alabama.

Two Wild Card hopefuls meet on Monday night football wagering as the Green Bay Packers host the Baltimore Ravens live on ESPN at 8:35pm ET. The Packers have won three straight and are in prime position to make the playoffs while the Baltimore Ravens are coming off a huge win last week against Pittsburgh that got them into the playoff picture. Green Bay is a 3-point sports wagering lines favorite with a total of 42.5 at SBG Global.
The Packers come into this game with some extra rest as they played on Thanksgiving as they routed Detroit 34-12. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw for 348 yards and three touchdowns in the win. The Green Bay defense also played well as Charles Woodson had a big game that was good enough for him to be named NFC Defensive Player of the week. The Green Bay defense now leads the league in fewest yards allowed per game although they are 12th in points allowed.
Baltimore got a big win against Pittsburgh last week 20-17 in overtime. The win puts the Ravens into the NFL wagering Wild Card picture in the AFC at 6-5. The Baltimore offense has struggled in recent weeks but they do have the strong rushing attack led by Ray Rice. Joe Flacco has not been nearly as good this season as a year ago. He has thrown only two TDs in his last five games. Baltimore will look to run the ball on Monday but they face a Green Bay defense that is fourth in the league in fewest rushing yards allowed.
One of the key factors in this Monday game will be the status of Baltimore linebacker Terrell Suggs. He has been out due to injury in the last two games and the Baltimore defense has missed him. The Ravens are 10th in the league in total defense and need a healthy Suggs in the lineup.
The Packers and Ravens have only met three times in history with Green Bay winning two of the three. The Packers are 26-28 with one tie all-time on Monday Night Football wagering lines. Green Bay is 11-7 at home on Monday and the Packers are 0-2 against the Ravens in Monday Night Football appearances. The last time the two teams met on Monday Night Football was in 2005 as Baltimore won 48-3 at home.
