We’re one sleep away from Kentucky Basketball’s biggest rivalry game and oddsmakers now have a point spread and total for you to ponder with your Saturday gambling budget.

According to the Action Network, the line on Kentucky-Louisville opened at 22.5 with Kentucky laying the points as the betting favorite; although, the number quickly moved to 23.5 at some books.

For bettors interested in the over/under, the total on the game is 137.

Looking backward, Louisville is 2-11 against the spread this season and the under hit in 10 of the 13 games played so far.

For Kentucky, the Cats failed to cover in the last six straight games, going back to the 40-point win over North Florida as the last time a bet on Kentucky to cover made any money. The Wildcats also covered against Howard, Duquesne, and SC State for a 4-8 record against the spread.

Six Kentucky games have gone under; the other six went over, including the last two in a row.

Good luck out there.
