The #2 Kentucky Wildcats (17-1) are set to host the visiting Arkansas Razorbacks (13-4) on Tuesday, and the college basketball odds assigned to this game don’t seem to suggest this old rivalry will be renewed with a close contest.
Kentucky is currently favored by 17.5, and they’ve been bet down from an opener of -18.5 thanks to wager-tracking websites showing that Arkansas is garnering 60% of the action.
The total of 143 was bet up quickly after opening and currently sits as high as 147.5.
Despite being an impressive 13-1 at home this season, the Razorbacks have gone just 0-3 on the road and will be facing a Wildcat squad that has gone 12-0 when playing in their Kentucky stadium.

One interesting trend supporting the Razorbacks is that the road team has won 4 of the last 9 head-to-head meetings between these squads.
The bad news is that the Wildcats were winners in all 4 road victories and have won 9 of the last 10 games. Arkansas shocked the Wildcats 77-76 as 7-point home underdogs last season, and you can bet that Kentucky will want some form of retribution on Tuesday.
Arkansas has done a good job of winning games this season, but many were against unheralded squads and the Razorbacks sit at just 4-5 against the odds in their contests that Las Vegas assigned a line too.
The Wildcats have been one of the best teams in college basketball but that hasn’t stopped them from covering the odds in just 3 of their 17 games with spreads.
Kentucky has been playing in some relatively low-scoring games lately and has gone under the total in 4 of their last 5.
The Razorbacks have gone under in 2 straight and it is interesting to see the total here bet up early on with how well both defenses have contested shots this season.
