T.M. Selection: Alabama.

I like Alabama to cover the spread against Kentucky in this game on Saturday. Alabama just lost their most recent game by 19 points on the road to Auburn but Auburn just keeps showing us why they really are the best team in the country this year. I think Alabama is due to bounce back in this game after that very poor performance but they still managed to put up 81 points in that game so I have faith that their offense will put up the points needed to win here on their home court. Alabama has been very good on their home court this year only losing 1 of their 11 games there. They have also been really good against ranked teams this year going 5-2 against ranked teams and both of those losses were to Auburn. Kentucky is a top 5 team and Alabama has plenty of experience taking down teams of that quality this year. I think this is a game that the Alabama player will definitely get up for and I expect them to extremely motivated to win this game on their home court. Kentucky has looked good lately winning 3 games in a row but 2 of those wins were against SEC teams that are not very good in the conference. I think Kentucky is going to have a tough time against Alabama in this game and I think Alabama will outscore them with their offense which has been putting up a lot of points lately. Kentucky also has a .500 record on the road this year and I think that Alabama will get the best of them here on their home court. I like Alabama to cover the spread in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 84-78 Alabama.
