Kentucky opens as huge favorite against Northern Illinois
Kentucky will bring its top 10 national ranking back to Kroger Field next weekend as a massive favorite.
Betting lines for college football’s Week 4 action were released on Sunday afternoon and the Wildcats are currently a 24.5-point favorite to take down Northern Illinois, according to Circa Sports. The over/under is currently set at 53.5.
Kentucky (3-0), which is now ranked No. 8 in the country, will host Northern Illinois (1-2) on Saturday at 7:00 p.m. EST on ESPN2.
Kentucky is 3-0-0 against the spread so far this season, including 2-0-0 as the home team against a pair of admittedly inferior opponents. Northern Illinois, meanwhile, is 1-2-0, but that lone win against the spread came on the road as the underdog.
According to ESPN’s Football Power Index, Kentucky has a 96.4 percent chance to beat NIU straight up.
