Kentucky Briefing: Kentucky is a 2.5-point favorite over the Missouri Tigers

The Kentucky Wildcats open as home favorites over the Missouri Tigers.

The Kentucky Wildcats are set to host the Missouri Tigers in a game that has become a rivalry over these past few seasons. 

Missouri had a good showing at home last week against the LSU Tigers but fell short in a shootout. 

This loss to LSU dropped Missouri out of the AP Poll heading into this matchup. The Cats are still in the AP Poll, as they only dropped a few spots to #24 after the blowout loss to Georgia. 

This game will be played at 7:30 pm est under the lights of Kroger Field, so the Big Blue Nation will be fired up for this ball game. 

Kentucky opens as 2.5-point favorites in this ball game, so Vegas thinks the Cats will win this one at home.

As both Missouri and Kentucky are up and coming programs, this will be a pivotal game for both teams.

I wrote about how Kentucky corner Maxwell Hairston is tied for the SEC lead in interceptions so through six games. 

"The loss to Georgia wasn't pretty by any stretch of the imagination, but Maxwell Hairston was able to pick off Bulldog quarterback Carson Beck."

"This was Hairston's fourth pick of the season, which has him tied for first with Auburn's Jaylin Simpson in the SEC and tied for first with multiple others in all of college football."
