Can Kentucky’s #21 ranked defense stifle an LSU offense that averages an elite 138.0 rating at home? We dive into the massive pace differential to find the best bet for this Wednesday night clash.

Golden State is laying 10.5 points at home against Portland, but after the Warriors just gave up 124 points to Atlanta at Chase Center, this spread feels stretched.

Oklahoma is 11-5, but they’ve failed to cover in 11 games this season, a red flag for bettors facing an elite SEC power.
