For the first time all season, Kentucky is a double-digit underdog for the Cats’ Saturday game at Mississippi State. At last look, the host Bulldogs were an 11.5-point favorite. This brings us to the question of when was the last time that Kentucky won as a double-digit underdog? Answer: It has been awhile.
In fact, you have to go back to 2009 when Rich Brooks’ team was a 13-point underdog at Auburn, yet knocked off the host Tigers 21-14. Since then, the Cats have been double-digit underdogs in 28 games. And lost all 28. Then again, the Cats did break the streak while they were on the road, and they are on the road Saturday.
