Despite this season being billed for the past month as a disappointment for Louisville and a step in the right direction for Kentucky, the Cardinals will be more than a touchdown favorite heading into Saturday afternoon’s Battle for the Governor’s Cup in Lexington.
U of L opened as a 9-point favorite for the game, a spread which has since been bet up to Louisville -10 at most books in Vegas.
Of course we can’t forget that the Cardinals were nearly a four-touchdown favorite before last year’s game against Kentucky. I say “of course we can’t forget’ because a member of Big Blue Nation has been bringing it up to us every day for the past 12 months.
