Kentucky is an 11-point favorite in the SEC home opener against LSU

Tuesday night’s SEC home opener in Rupp Arena is a new opportunity for Kentucky bettors to get back in the win column after a seven-game skid against the spread. On Saturday, the Wildcats missed covering the 23.5-point spread by half a point against rival Louisville and now Kentucky is laying 11 points to LSU in Tuesday night’s game.

Oddsmakers set the total on the game at 138.5 points. For Kentucky, the over hit in the last three games following a stretch of five straight unders.

On the other side, LSU is 5-8 against the spread this year and only four of those games went over the point total.
