Kentucky Looks to Continue Unbeaten Run
The Kentucky Wildcats are off to the best start in school history at 25-0 SU and are the unanimous No. 1 team in the country in the polls. The Wildcats will look to stay undefeated this Tuesday night on the road against Tennessee, going off as a 15-point favorite at 5Dimes. Kentucky is 10-4 ATS in its last 14 games against the Volunteers.
On Wednesday, two of college basketball's most storied programs clash as the UNC Tar Heels visit the Duke Blue Devils. Duke holds a slight 5-3 SU advantage in the last eight meetings between these two teams, which have been split 4-4 ATS. Southern Methodist hosts Temple on Thursday in what should be another big game.
After an exciting all-star weekend, the NBA returns to action on Thursday with two games.

The Nashville Predators own the best record in hockey with a 38-12-6 record through their first 56 games. Fresh off making a big trade this weekend, the Predators face two tough tests in this week's NHL action.
Nashville is a -160 favorite on Tuesday night at 5Dimes hosting the San Jose Sharks. The Predators added two of the top targets of this year's trade market when they acquired defenseman Cody Franson and forward Mike Santorelli in a trade with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Franson and Santorelli will join the Predators for their Tuesday night game against the Sharks (who are a +145 road underdog) and Nashville's Thursday night road game against the New York Islanders.
Also on Tuesday, the Alexander Ovechkin vs. Sidney Crosby rivalry plays out another chapter when the Pittsburgh Penguins host the Washington Capitals. Pittsburgh is a -150 favorite over the Capitals at +130 at Bovada.
