(BB) Kentucky + 11.5
Record (points): 19-16 (19)
Best Bets: 6-1 (6)
Time: 7:00 PM EDT 1H Kentucky +10.5 (-175)
Analysis:
This is a 5* play on Kentucky.
The Wildcats are 5-2 and the average margin of defeat in their two losses was 6.5 points. The will be a double digit dog here at Tennesse, after last season's meeting went down to the wire with the Vols winning 45-42. Will Levis threw for 372 yards and three TDs on 31-of-49 passing in that game, and Chris Rodriguez ran for 109 yards on 22 carries. Levis didn't play in the loss to the Gamecocks, but coming off a bye week the Wildcats should be ready to go to battle with their rivals Tennessee. The underdog is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings between these two teams, and the road team has covered in six of the last seven.

[EPL] (200101) Leeds United at (200102) Liverpool
Time: 2:45 PM EDT 1H Liverpool -140
Analysis:
This is a 2* play on Liverpool.
It was a poor start to the season for Liverpool, but Jorgen Klopp and the boys appear to have found their stride. They are coming off a 3-0 win over Ajax in the Champions League, and they are undefeated at Anfield with a +12 goal differential in six matches. Leeds on the other hand are ready to sack their manager. They are facing relegation, and they are winless in away matches this season. Their last game at Anfield was a 6-0 loss in February.
4 units
[NBA] (533) Memphis Grizzlies at (534) Utah Jazz
Time: 9:10 PM EDT Utah Jazz +5.5 (-110)
Analysis:
This is a 4* play on Utah.
I think we have one of the more overrated teams (Memphis) playing one of the more underrated teams here in Utah. The Jazz are gonna suck without Donovan Mitchell? Well maybe not. They are off to a 4-2 start and they are undefeated at home. The Grizzlies are 1-5 ATS in their last six games following a straight up win. Ja Morant scored 22 points in a win at Sacramento Thursday, but he's listed as doubtful for Saturday's game.
