The Kentucky Wildcats are coming off a much-needed bye week after a very physical loss to Georgia.
Kentucky went into the by week with their best start since 1950 and gunning for the best finish in the SEC since the 1970s.
On the other side of the bye week is something that they haven’t done since 2008, and something Mark Stoops has never done — beat the Mississippi State Bulldogs in Starkville.
Perhaps that is part of why the opening odds for this matchup actually have the Bulldogs favored by one point, according to DraftKings.
