Backers of the Big Blue got off to a winning start in the season-opener against Wright State. Can Kentucky secure another big win on the court and against the spread (ATS) in game 2?

Kentucky opened as a 20.5-point favorite over Bucknell. That line is from our friends at FanDuel. The total is 151.5.

That 20.5 is the same number from the season opener. Kentucky easily covered that spread in a 41-point win. This spread isn’t too far off from the Kenpom projection, which calls for an 85-66 Kentucky victory and gives the Wildcats a 96% winning percentage.

The Bucknell Bison are 2-0 this season and 2-0 ATS. Both games were away from home. They were three-point dogs when they traveled to Evansville and beat Southern Indiana 75-69 in overtime. This is the first-ever meeting between Kentucky and Bucknell.
