September 6, 2023 02:40pm

With the dawn of Kentucky sports betting (retail-wise) beginning and online wagering expected to come to the Bluegrass State later this month, there’s no better time for residents of the state to plunk down a few bucks on NFL and college football. Even though Kentucky doesn’t have a team in the former, it has two “Power Five” members in the latter, with the Kentucky Wildcats and Louisville Cardinals both expected to win their fair share of games this fall.

With football back in action, BetKentucky.com gathered data from Google Trends to see which states are searching for “sports betting,” and most excited to bet on the games this season.

Where Kentucky Ranks In Wagering Interest

It’s safe to say that Kentuckians are chomping at the bit to get into the game, either when it comes to UK or Louisville football or up the road, with the Cincinnati Bengals and Indianapolis Colts playoff chances.

With Kentucky and Louisville entering the CFB season with win total over/unders (courtesy of Caesars Sportsbook Kentucky) of 7.0 and 8.0, respectively, there’s no shortage of interest in college football this fall. In the NFL, the Bengals enter the year with a win total over/under (again, courtesy of Caesars Sportsbook Kentucky) of 11.5, while the Colts come into the year at 6.5.
