Well, it’s time to shock the world, I suppose. If Kentucky is going to beat Florida in Gainesville on Saturday, the Wildcats are going to have to do it as massive underdogs.
The oddsmakers have spoken, and the Gators have opened as double-digit favorites — 11.5 points, to be specific. The over/under has been set at 152.5 points with a favorable moneyline bet for believers, UK sitting at +525 compared to -750 for UF.
That aligns with the computers, which unanimously like the Gators — and by a lot — starting with KenPom giving the Cats just a 17 percent chance to pull off the upset and a projected score of 81-70.
