The Kentucky Wildcats are having an interesting season. Kentucky was dominant early in the season. They were 5-0 at one point but have struggled to win games since, dropping four of their last five clashes. The only win in that span was early this month in a convincing 24-3 road win against Mississippi State. Last week, Kentucky was an 11-point dog in a rough loss 49-21 to Alabama to plummet to 3-4 in conference play. The Wildcats have covered the spread in only one of their last five games.
