Kentucky is an 11.5-point favorite in Saturday’s game vs. Toledo, but one national writer has the Cats on upset alert. CBS Sports’ Jerry Palm chose Toledo over Kentucky as his Upset of the Week in his best bets for week one.
Kentucky lost two of its best players in recent years, if not ever, in running back Benny Snell and linebacker Josh Allen. The Wildcats also lost their entire secondary, and against a bombs-away offense like Toledo, that could be a problem. The Rockets are one of the favorites in the MAC and their explosive offense is one of the best in that league.
