Kentucky vs. Tennessee Opening Line, How to Watch

The buzz will be palpable at Rupp Arena for a border rivalry when Kentucky hosts Tennessee Saturday afternoon in Lexington. If the Cats can pull off the upset, it will be the first time since 2012 that UK has swept the regular season series 2-0. Yes, I said upset.

The early line is out and Kentucky opened as a 4-point underdog, and Vegas expects a low-scoring affair with a total of 133. It’s almost right on the KenPom number, which projects a 69-65 Tennessee victory.

The Vols enter this matchup fresh off an upset of No. 1 Alabama at home. Tennessee covered the 3.5-point spread in the 68-59 victory. It came on the heels of back-to-back losses at the buzzer inside Thompson-Boling Arena. Tennessee failed to cover in four straight games prior to Wednesday night’s win.

John Calipari’s Wildcats have a little extra pep in their step after a Quad 1 win at Mississippi State put them on the right side of the bubble. The over has hit in six straight Kentucky basketball games.
