Vanderbilt is 7-3 against the spread in its last 10 road games.
Betting on the Kentucky Wildcats (ODDS)

Kentucky has also gotten hot of late. After consecutive losses to the Arkansas Razorbacks and to the Georgia Bulldogs, the Wildcats have stitched together four straight victories, including last Saturday’s 86-54 walloping of the Auburn Tigers at home. Kentucky brandishes an offense that is regarded as one of the most efficient in college basketball, as the Wildcats are averaging 75 points per game and 118.8 points per 100 possessions – 13th overall. They shot 56.4 FG% in their 69-53 road win against Vanderbilt on Jan. 24.
Kentucky is 3-1 against the spread in its last four home games.
