The Opening Line for the 2021 Governor's Cup

by: Nick Roush05/21/21@RoushKSR

Less than 100 days away from the start of the college football season, we have our first point spread for a Kentucky football game.

The South Point Sportsbook has released lines for dozens of games on the gridiron this fall, including the 2021 edition of the Governor’s Cup. Played the Saturday after Thanksgiving at Cardinal Stadium, Kentucky opens as a 1-point favorite over Louisville.

The 1-point spread feels low, especially when you consider that Kentucky has outscored UofL by approximately 782 points over the last two meetings. It’s actually quite generous compared to what the analytics say. The initial SP+ rankings actually have the Cards as 5.5-point favorites.

No matter what number you get, the Covering Cats are Free Money against the Cards in 2021.
