The No. 2 Kentucky Wildcats look to stay perfect when they host the Eastern Kentucky Colonels on Friday. The Wildcats (1-0), who beat top-ranked Michigan State 69-62 on Tuesday, are 12-0 all-time vs. the Colonels (1-0), who opened their season with a 79-68 victory over Chattanooga. Tip-off from Rupp Arena in Lexington is set for 7 p.m. ET, and Kentucky won the last meeting between the schools, 88-67, on Dec. 9, 2015. The Wildcats are 29.5-point favorites in the latest Kentucky vs. Eastern Kentucky odds, while the over-under for total points scored is 151. Before making any Kentucky vs. EKU picks, see the college basketball predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

This model, which simulates every game 10,000 times, has crushed its top-rated against-the-spread college basketball picks the past three years, returning $2,770 to $100 players. It began the 2019-20 season hitting 60 percent of its top-rated spread selections.

Now the model has dialed in on Kentucky vs. Eastern Kentucky. We can tell you it's leaning under, but it's also generated an extremely strong against the spread pick that hits in 70 percent of simulations. That one is available exclusively at SportsLine.

They could win by 50 if they wanted to, but coach Cal does not run the score up on in state schools. I'd be surprised if we cover the point spread.

I agree, we may not cover the spread!
