Saturday Down South’s Michael Bratton and Connor O’Gara predict the winner of Saturday’s game between Kentucky and Vandy.
Here is what they had to say about the game:
Kentucky at Vanderbilt (-2.5)
Michael: Kentucky may be the toughest team to predict in the league right now. How do the Wildcats lose the turnover margin by four against Tennessee yet win the game only to turn around and lose to lowly Ole Miss? Vanderbilt isn’t much easier to pick, the Commodores put it on Western Kentucky last week after five consecutive losses. The schedule sets up nicely for Vanderbilt to finish with a great record, with each game likely being a toss-up contest. While Benny Snell has been on a tear in recent weeks, he currently leads the SEC in rushing, I like Kyle Shurmur and company to come out on top in this one.
Vanderbilt 34, Kentucky 30
Connor: I mean, what has Vanderbilt done to be a favorite in any SEC game? To be winless in conference play this late in the season having lost all but one conference game by double figures suggest that the Commodores are a classic cellar dweller. Kentucky, on the other hand, is not. The Wildcats might’ve lost a devastating game late against Ole Miss, but I still think that Benny Snell should be able to get going in what figures to be a high scoring game.
Kentucky 37, Vanderbilt 31
