• Opening moneyline: Kentucky -132/Missouri +104
• Opening total: Over/Under 53.5 points scored
• Time: 7:30 p.m. ET Saturday (SEC Network)

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET FRIDAY: Kentucky went from -2.5 to -1.5 (-115) for a few minutes Thursday afternoon at BetMGM, then returned to -2.5. The Wildcats are nabbing 79% of spread bets/78% of spread money so far.

The total dropped from 53.5 to 50.5 by Thursday afternoon, with stops at 52.5 and 51.5 along the way. Ticket count is 2/1 plus on the Over, but money is running almost dead even.

UPDATE MIDNIGHT ET MONDAY: Missouri was leading LSU for significant portions of a Week 6 meeting and was covering the entire game. That is, until the final minute.

Trailing 42-39 and on their own 5-yard line, the Tigers (5-1 SU/3-3 ATS) threw a pick-six and lost 49-39 as 6-point home underdogs.

Like Mizzou, Kentucky was a trendy underdog spread play in Week 6. Unlike Mizzou, the Wildcats (5-1 SU/4-2 ATS) were never in it at No. 1 Georgia. Kentucky, catching 14.5 points, trailed 34-7 at halftime and lost 51-13.

The Wildcats opened -2.5 in TwinSpires' college football odds Week 7 market. The first move was up to -3, then the line returned to -2.5. Kentucky is getting 72% of early spread tickets/58% of early spread money.

"The public is expecting Kentucky to bounce back. It's already 5/1 tickets and money on Kentucky moneyline," Lucas said.

The total is stable at 53.5, with 52% of tickets on the Under/60% of money on the Over.
