Kentucky opens as slight favorite against Missouri next weekend
Despite Saturday night’s result, Kentucky is still the favorite for next weekend’s matchup.
According to Circa Sports, the Wildcats have opened up as a two-point favorite against the Missouri Tigers, which is scheduled for noon EST on Saturday, Nov. 5 in Columbia, MO. Kentucky, now ranked No. 19 in the latest AP Poll, is coming off a demoralizing 44-6 loss to the No. 3 Tennessee Volunteers. But going up against a 4-4 Missouri team with a 2-3 mark in the SEC, UK is still considered the frontrunner in the matchup.
The over-under has been set at 46.5.
According to ESPN’s analytics, Kentucky barely has the advantage over Missouri with a 50.6 percent chance to win. The Tigers are coming off its biggest win of the season, a 23-10 victory over then-No. 25 ranked South Carolina on Saturday, in which Missouri was a 3.5-point underdog at kickoff. UK and Mizzou are both 5-3-0 against the spread this season.
Bet responsibly, folks.
