Kentucky opens as big favorite over New Mexico State

The Kentucky Wildcats are only a few days away from opening up the 2023-24 regular season at Rupp Arena. This year’s opponent for opening night is the New Mexico State Aggies.

With basically a new roster for John Calipari, the national media is somewhat down on what this team could be. But after an impressive showing against Georgetown College last Friday night, it appears that oddsmakers are comfortable enough to think the Cats will roll in the opening game.

According to the latest odds over at DraftKings, Kentucky opens as the favorite in the matchup, with the spread set at -18.
