Kentucky hosts Ole Miss in a rare 11 AM EST tip-off, meaning West Coast Cat fans will be having breakfast with their team this morning thanks to Winter Storm Fern.
The oddsmakers over at FanDuel have set the line with Kentucky as a 9.5-point favorite (-120). The moneyline sits heavily in Kentucky’s favor at -630, while Ole Miss is a +450 underdog. The total for the game is set at 143.5.
But the time slot and the betting lines aren’t the headline. The biggest story is Kentucky’s four-game win streak colliding with the return of Travis Perry. Perry, who transferred from Kentucky to Ole Miss after his lone season in Lexington, will be back in Rupp Arena to try to beat his boyhood team.
Kentucky vs. Ole Miss odds show the Cats may be finding their groove
The Cats being a nearly double-digit favorite is a good thing. Now, odds aren’t the be-all and end-all, but Vegas doesn’t like to lose money. So if they are hanging a number that big on a conference game, they have quite a bit of confidence the Cats will roll.
