Kentucky football vs. Northern Illinois: Betting line, 3 things to know before you pick

LEXINGTON — The Kentucky football program has had plenty to celebrate of late.

The Wildcats (3-0, 1-0 SEC) are ranked No. 8 in this week’s Associated Press Top 25. They’re not yet two weeks removed from coach Mark Stoops setting a school record with 61 career wins, a number he added to last Saturday with UK’s win over Youngstown State.

The school saluted Stoops with a pregame introduction that day. It handed out a commemorative poster to fans.

And then the Cats beat the Penguins 31-0, and the fun was over.
