College Basketball Picks & Predictions for Wednesday, December 8, 2010
By Drew Sharper
LEXINGTON, KY (TheSpread) – The big game on Wednesday in College Basketball features No. 17 Kentucky hosting No. 23 Notre Dame. Here is a breakdown of my pick for the contest.
Kentucky is 5-2 on the season and 2-0 at home while Notre Dame is 8-0 overall and playing in their first true road game of the season.
Oddsmakers from online sportsbook SBGGLOBAL.com have released their odds for this game and made Kentucky a 5.5-point favorite against Notre Dame. The over/under has been set at 141.5. Here is a look at the trends and my pick for tonight’s game.
Notre Dame vs. Kentucky, 9:30PM ET
The Fighting Irish are just 1-4 against the spread in their last 5 games against Kentucky and the favorite has won the last 5 meetings in this series. Notre Dame is off to a strong start but playing at a hostile environment for the first time. I like a pick of the Wildcats in this one.
