Clay Travis believes the Missouri Tigers are going to have their way with Kentucky Saturday afternoon.
According to Travis, Missouri is going to exploit Kentucky’s passing defense and roll to an easy victory.
Check out his comments:
Kentucky at Mizzou -6.5 and the over 54, now Mizzou -7 and 55
Yes, Kentucky is 6-1 and Wildcat fans have every reason to be ecstatic about that fact. But that doesn’t mean Kentucky is a really good football team. In fact, I think it means that Kentucky has found ways to beat offenses that are pretty challenged.
Indeed, Kentucky hasn’t scored more than 28 in an SEC game this season. And the past couple of weeks have been even worse. The Wildcats didn’t cross midfield on offense against Texas A&M and the only scored 14 against Vanderbilt while posting just 18 passing yards.
18!
The problem is Kentucky is going up against a really good offense in this game and I think Mizzou will exploit Kentucky in the passing game — particularly with their tight end — and open up a double digit lead early. This double digit lead will force Kentucky out of their rushing attack and will lead to many more points being scored than expected.
Oftentimes gambling on over/unders is about determining whose pace will govern the contest. Here, it’s Mizzou’s.
My double blood bank guarantee this week? It’s Mizzou and the over.
I’m sure this all comes as a shock to Kentucky’s defense, which hasn’t given up more than 20 points the entire season.
Season!
