Over the past six-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated more than $1,400 for $100 players on its top-rated college basketball picks against the spread. Anybody who has followed it has seen profitable returns. 

The model knows Kentucky is hoping to build momentum heading into conference play. The Wildcats are moving the ball well offensively and have shot-makers all over the floor. Kentucky is ranked third in the conference in scoring (82), field goal percentage (46.5), and second in assists (18.9). There are four players who average double-digit points, led by senior guard Antonio Reeves. He averages 14.4 points, dropping 15-plus in two of his last three games.

The model also knows Yale has showcased its ability to be dominant on both ends of the floor. The Bulldogs have been able to be very effective on offense, ranked second in the Ivy League in scoring offense (78.3) and field goal percentage (.490). Yale can then play suffocating defense, quickly swarming to the ball. They are first in the conference in scoring defense (55.8), blocks (4.7), and 3-point defense (.288). This unit is talented on both sides and will cause havoc for the Wildcats.

Now, the model has set its sights on Yale vs. Kentucky. It is leaning Over on the total and it also says one side of the spread hits in well over 50% of simulations! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any college basketball picks.
