Saturday Down South’s Michael Bratton and Chris Marler predict the winner of Saturday’s game between #9 Kentucky and #6 Georgia.
Here is what they had to say about the game:
Georgia (-10) at Kentucky
Michael: All week long, I’ve heard about the overrated team in this matchup. The only problem is, everyone that’s saying that is focused on the wrong team — Georgia is the overrated team. The Bulldogs may blow away Kentucky in the recruiting rankings but those metrics don’t factor in the experience and development of Mark Stoops’ roster. While Jake Fromm did have a great game in the Cocktail Party last weekend, we can’t completely dismiss how bad he looked in Death Valley in his last home game. Kroger Field will be electric for this game and I expect Fromm to have a regression in this game. This matchup will ultimately come down to how effective Terry Wilson is throwing the ball against the Bulldogs. If the confidence he gained from his game-winning drive against Missouri carries over, don’t be shocked if Kentucky pulls the outright upset here.
Georgia 24 Kentucky 20
Chris: UGA and Kentucky for the SEC East title. In football. What a time to be alive y’all. What a huge game that, outside of Lexington, nobody saw coming before the season started. Kentucky continues to be the surprise team of the college football world, yet they also continue to be a huge underdog. Kentucky opened as a 12 point underdog, and the line immediately made a huge jump to single digits. UK is 4-1 straight up and 5-0 ATS this season as an underdog which is incredible. However, even with neighbor Terry Wilson’s huge game last week, I think the Cats are too one dimensional to beat this UGA team. I like the matchup with Benny Snell vs UGA’s defense because the Dawg LB’s do not tackle well. And, I LOVE this Kentucky defense, as it has proven throughout the season that it is elite. However, I can’t see Terry Wilson beating this UGA defense.
