Exclusive BetMGM bonus code ROCKY50: Kentucky vs Tennessee odds & preview
The seventh-ranked Volunteers bring 6-1 and 3-1 SEC records into the rivalry game. Coming off the bye, UT is 5-2 against the spread after winning 24-17 as a 3.5-point underdog to visiting Alabama on Oct. 19.
Kentucky, on the other hand, is 3-5 and 1-5 in the SEC following consecutive losses to Vanderbilt (20-13), Florida (48-20) and Auburn (24-10). The Wildcats are 4-4 ATS but have failed to cover in those last three contests — all as a favorite.
Since 2000, Tennessee has won 21 of the 24 head-to-head meetings and has covered in 18 of them, including each of the last three.
The Vols won 33-27 last season in Lexington as a 4-point road favorite and rolled 44-6 as a 10.5-point home favorite in 2022.
BetMGM has the Vols as -17.5-point favorites for Saturday’s game as of Thursday and -1,000 on the moneyline. The Wildcats were catching +625 on the moneyline with a game total of 45.5 points. The odds for Kentucky vs Tennesee are subject to change.
Tennessee’s last four games have come in under the total after opening with three consecutive overs. Oddsmakers have adjusted, though, as Saturday’s game will be the first with a total lower than 55.5 points.
Kentucky, meanwhile, is 6-2 to the under on the season.
Whether a side, total, team or player prop bet, new sportsbook customers can place their initial Wildcats vs Vols bet with complete confidence, knowing they’re covered by our exclusive BetMGM bonus code offer up to $1,550.

Hardley Gilmore returns to Kentucky Football
A wide receiver from Belle Glade, Florida, Gilmore totaled 28 receptions for 313 yards and one touchdown for the Wildcats during the 2025 season. The 6-foot-1 sophomore has had a very interesting offseason as he entered the portal, flipped a commitment, and is now back in Lexington.
After the 2025 season, Gilmore committed to Louisville when he entered the transfer portal, then flipped his commitment to Baylor, and ultimately signed with the Bears. To end Gilmore’s portal saga, he’s now back in a familiar place with the Wildcats.
When the 2026 season begins, Gilmore will have two years of eligibility remaining.
Gilmore had a solid sophomore campaign with the Wildcats, appearing in all 12 games. His best game of the season came in the late-season loss against Vanderbilt. He tallied six catches for 55 yards in the game.
With Kentucky losing most of its wide receiver production from last season, this is a significant pickup, and it won’t be surprising if Gilmore is back in the starting lineup this fall.

Watch: Blast brings down Northern Kentucky bridge
COVINGTON, Ky. (WKRC) – The Licking River Bridge was demolished Monday morning in a controlled blast, clearing the way for a replacement structure.
Authorities established a 1,000-foot safety perimeter, closed nearby roads and asked residents to shelter in place before the demolition. The bridge collapsed within seconds of the blast.
“Today we say goodbye to a bridge that has served Kentuckians for nearly a century and we make room for something new. A signature bridge that is safer, stronger and we make room for something new,” Gov. Andy Beshear said. “This region, like the rest of the commonwealth, is evolving, it is booming, it’s economy growing every day. What we’re doing together is building our new Kentucky home.”
The Licking River Bridge is now history after crews brought it down with a controlled demolition Monday morning. (WKRC)
BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT
Crews will begin construction on the new bridge after debris removal is complete. The replacement bridge is expected to open in the summer of 2028.
