Mark Stoops’ football team is taking it one game at a time, but Las Vegas is looking ahead to next weekend. Before Kentucky hosts LSU and Georgia faces Auburn, the sportsbooks have an early line for the Cats and the Dogs.
Georgia is a 24.5-point favorite over Kentucky in the CBS showdown Between the Hedges.
For comparison’s sake, Arkansas was an 18.5-point underdog when the Razorbacks went to Sanford Stadium in a similar spot a week ago. Is Kentucky six points worse than Arkansas, particularly on defense? I don’t know about all that.
This line is even more intriguing when you consider how well Kentucky’s defense has played against the Dogs in the last two meetings.
