Kentucky opens as double-digit favorite vs. Missouri
Kentucky is looking to move to 14-1 under John Calipari in the first home SEC game of the season, hosting Missouri inside Rupp Arena on Tuesday. And it’ll do so as a double-digit favorite.
The opening line has been set, with the Wildcats favored by 11.5 points against the Tigers, according to our friends at FanDuel. That opens the door to an understandably expensive moneyline bet, currently -820 for Kentucky with the point total set at 162.5.
