We are less than a week away from the opening kickoff of the Kentucky Wildcats’ season. Their first opponent they will welcome to Lexington is the Toledo Rockets.
It will not be your every-year starting opponent, though, as the Rockets are projected to win the MAC, making this a popular preseason upset pick for week one. It seems that the majority of America is also betting on this upset. How much so? The line is now down by a one-touchdown game.
According to FanDuel, UK is now a 7.5-point favorite
over the Rockets next Saturday. They are also expecting a high-scoring game as the over/under sits at 48.5 points. The moneyline for UK is -280. For the Rockets, it’s +225.
Mark Stoops has a brand-new squad, and the country knows very little about how good they can be. Sounds like we have a statement game on our hands for Week 1.
