The Kentucky Wildcats (4-6, 1-6 SEC) and the No. 3 Texas Longhorns (9-1, 5-1) meet Saturday at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET (ABC/ESPN+). Below, we look at Kentucky vs. Texas odds from FanDuel Sportsbook’s college football odds before making our expert college football picks and predictions later in the week.
The Wildcats snapped a 4-game losing streak with a 48-6 spanking of the FCS Racers last Saturday in what seems to be a traditional SEC November cupcake game. Kentucky covered as a 41.5-point home favorite and the Under (54.5) cashed. QB Brock Vandagriff (12-for-19) threw for 183 yards with 2 TDs and one pick, while backup QB Cutter Boley (10-for-14) finished with 130 passing yards and 2 scores with no interception. RB Jamarion Wilcox led the ground attack with 123 yards and 1 TD on 13 carries. It was the Wildcats’ second cover in a row after going 0-3 ATS the previous 3 games.
The Longhorns beat the Arkansas Razorbacks 20-10 Saturday in Fayetteville, but Texas failed to cover as a 12.5-point favorite and the Under (56.5) easily came in. QB Quinn Ewers threw for 176 yards with 2 TDs and no picks. Texas has won 3 in a row since getting thrashed 30-15 at the DKR by then-No. 4, now-No. 8 Georgia Oct. 19. Texas is just 1-3 against the spread (ATS) in the past 4 games, while the Under is 4-1-1 in the past 6 games.
Kentucky is 1-2 on the road this season, but have lost its last 2 away from Lexington. One of those victories was a 20-17 upset of then-No. 5, now-No. 9 Ole Miss. The Wildcats are 2-1 ATS on the road with the Over 2-1.
Texas is 5-1 at home with the lone loss to Georgia. The Longhorns are 4-2 ATS in those games, while the Over-Under has split 3-3.
