Mizzou football: Kentucky points spread and total for SEC game

Missouri football is back and so is the opportunity to profit at the gambling window. Sports gambling is illegal in Missouri. The following preview is for entertainment purposes.

Kentucky is favored by 2.5 points over Missouri. Money line bets offer a better payout. Missouri has a 4-6 record against Kentucky since joining the SEC. Last season, Kentucky won 35-28 at home. The Tigers won their first three games against the Wildcats before Mark Stoops' program took hold.

The points total for Saturday's game has dropped to 41.5. The game could be decided by the quality of offensive line play. Missouri has had problems keeping quarterback Brady Cook upright all season. Kentucky has offensive problems of its own. The team with the best offensive weapons could score in the 50s or 60s.

Neither team is a factor in the conversation for the 2022 national championship. Odds can still be found on both teams for an SEC title. Will Levis is one of the players showing up in Heisman Trophy future betting.
