Kentucky opens as huge favorite against Northern Illinois

Kentucky will bring its top 10 national ranking back to Kroger Field next weekend as a massive favorite.

Betting lines for college football’s Week 4 action were released on Sunday afternoon and the Wildcats are currently a 24.5-point favorite to take down Northern Illinois, according to Circa Sports. The over/under is currently set at 53.5.

Kentucky (3-0), which is now ranked No. 8 in the country, will host Northern Illinois (1-2) on Saturday at 7:00 p.m. EST on ESPN2.

Kentucky is 3-0-0 against the spread so far this season, including 2-0-0 as the home team against a pair of admittedly inferior opponents.
