The Wildcats will head to College Station as slight underdogs — the home environment giving the Aggies the edge. Texas A&M has opened as a 1.5-point favorite over Kentucky with the over/under set at 156.5 points, according to our friends at FanDuel.

Believe in the Cats? You can get the moneyline at +104 if you hurry.

KenPom gives Kentucky the ever-so-slight edge on the road, picking the Cats to win 79-78 with a 51% shot overall. Bart Torvik, however, has the two teams flipped, projecting a 79-78 win for the Aggies and giving the road team a 49% chance to pull it off.

As for ESPN’s Matchup Predictor, that favors A&M the most at 65.6% overall compared to Kentucky’s 34.4%.

Tip-off is scheduled for Saturday at 2 p.m. ET on ESPN.
