We have a Point Spread for Kentucky vs. Murray State

Kentucky is back in action tomorrow afternoon, searching for its first win at Kroger Field since Sept. 21. The Wildcats will try to snap a four-game losing streak against a one-win team from the FCS ranks.

FCS games are different for a myriad of reasons. In the SEC, it just means you’ll have to watch “on the computer,” streaming exclusively on the ESPN app via ESPN+ or SECN+. These lopsided affairs are also treated differently by the folks in Vegas. Rather than releasing a point spread on Sunday, we have to wait a little longer to try to beat the bookies.

According to FanDuel, Kentucky is a 38.5-point favorite over Murray State. The total is 49.5, giving us a projected score of 44-5.5.

The total is interesting. Murray State has one of the worst defenses in the FCS, ranking in the bottom ten of seven different statistical categories. They’ve given up at least 50 points to six different teams, including 72 to North Dakota.

Vegas must not trust the Kentucky offense to score, and who can blame them? The Cats rank last in the SEC in passing, scoring, and yards per game. We’ll find out Saturday afternoon if Kentucky has the offensive firepower to prove the folks in the desert wrong.
