How to make Georgia vs. Kentucky picks

After 10,000 simulations of Kentucky vs. Georgia, SportsLine's model is going Over on the total (161.5 points). Kentucky has seen three of its past four games clear the total, while Georgia is coming off an Over in its loss to Oklahoma. 

Defense has been a challenge for Georgia recently as the Bulldogs have given up at least 86 points in all but one of their past six SEC games. The Bulldogs, however, have the No. 3 scoring offense in the league at 90.3 points per game. Kentucky, meanwhile, has scored at least 83 points in three of its last four games. 

The model projects 164 combined points as the Over clears in 56% of simulations. 

The model also says one side of the spread hits more than 60% of the time. You can only see that pick at SportsLine.
