When the Week 8 betting lines opened a couple of days ago, Kentucky (3-3; 1-3 SEC) was initially viewed as the slight favorite to beat Florida in Gainesville. But after the Wildcats lost to Vanderbilt on Saturday night 20-13, the line has shifted in favor of the Gators.

As of Sunday morning, Florida is now considered the favorite to beat Kentucky in next weekend’s SEC showdown. FanDuel has the Gators as a one-point favorite while DraftKings is giving Billy Napier’s squad a two-point edge. Kickoff is set for Saturday, Oct. 19 at 7:45 p.m. EST (SEC Network) at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.

According to ESPN Analytics, Florida has a 59.4 percent chance of beating UK. On3’s Massey Ratings give the Gators a 56 percent chance at the win with a projected final score of 24-21 in favor of UF. Neither the numbers nor the bettors will be on Kentucky’s side going into the Swamp.

Florida is coming off a loss of its own over the weekend, coming up short in overtime (23-17) on the road to No. 8 Tennessee. UF kicker Trey Smack missed a 47-yard field goal on the first possession of OT, allowing Tennessee’s Dylan Thompson to punch in the game-winning score the next time out. The Gators sit on a 3-3 overall record with a 1-2 mark in SEC play.

Kentucky is 4-2 this season against the spread. UK was a double-digit favorite when Vanderbilt came to town on Saturday before losing by seven. The total has gone under in five of the Wildcats’ last six games. Kentucky is also 8-3 against the spread over its last 11 road games. Bet responsibly, folks.

Kroger Field hasn’t been a home-field advantage for Kentucky in the Southeastern Conference lately. In fact, the Wildcats found a way to be pretty bad at home, losing 10 of the last 12 SEC games in Lexington. You don’t need me to tell you that’s a horrible home record. I will remind you that Kentucky was a double-digit favorite in two of those home losses this season.

After dropping homecoming night to Vanderbilt, Stoops admitted in his postgame comments that he struggles with why the home atmosphere has been unkind to his team. He told Tom Leach, “Sometimes I think guys get in this environment, they get at home, and they press, and they just push, you know, too much.”

In his postgame press conference, Stoops said he talked to his team earlier in the week about being better prepared at home and what is holding them back. He faced questions about the home record before hosting Vanderbilt, then again after Kentucky lost 20-13 to the Commodores.

“It’s a fair question,” Stoops said. “I’ve looked at it too, you know, and thought about it and talked to the guys and talked to them about coming here and having our composure, having our control. And I talked to them about it openly, like, what is it, man?”

He wondered if his players get too amped up or have too many people in town, creating unnecessary distractions.

“Whatever it is, put it away and dial in and commit to doing the things necessary to win in this game,” Stoops said. “Obviously I didn’t do a good enough job, but I tried addressing that and addressing all of it about really focusing and being disciplined.”

He added, “Emotion doesn’t win you games. Execution and discipline win you games.”

Kentucky was not disciplined against Vanderbilt. The Wildcats had 12 penalties for 106 yards with two turnovers, leading to another embarrassing home loss.

More from Mark Stoops postgame:

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Vanderbilt edge rusher Miles Capers was placed on a flat board and taken off the field on a stretcher after being injured while attempting to make a tackle midway through the second quarter Saturday night against Kentucky.

Capers was caught under a moving pile of players tackling Wildcats running back Demie Sumo-Karngbaye and lay on the turf for a moment after the play. Vanderbilt medical personnel immediately rushed to his assistance as Kroger Field fell silent, and players from both teams knelt and prayed as a wooden board was brought over. A stretcher was brought over soon after.

Capers was stabilized and gently placed on the stretcher before being wheeled off the field. A Vanderbilt football spokesman said the player was transported to a hospital for imaging as a precaution but did not know his immediate condition or which hospital he was taken to.

Commodores players surrounded Capers in a show of support for the senior, who was named Southeastern Conference defensive lineman of the week on Monday for his performance in last week’s historic 40-35 upset of top-ranked Alabama. Capers had a strip sack and forced fumble that led to a touchdown in the victory and is fourth on the team with 22 stops and tied for the team lead with 4.5 tackles for loss.
