Saturday Down South’s Michael Bratton and Chris Marler predict the winner of Saturday’s game between Kentucky and Auburn.
Here is what they had to say about the game:
Kentucky at Auburn (-7.5)
Michael: I begged and pleaded for folks to bet Kentucky when this line debuted in the summer (it was first released at Auburn -17.5), there was a ton of value to be had back then but I still like this line for the Wildcats despite all the hype Mark Stoops’ program has entering this game. It almost seems like Auburn is the underdog in the game considering how much love Kentucky is getting. Auburn may have talent on paper, but Kentucky should have the edge on both lines of scrimmage and in the running game. I’ll take Kentucky and the points, even if Stoops’ team doesn’t win outright, you’ll still win this one.
Kentucky 20, Auburn 17
Chris: I absolutely cannot wait to be wrong about after Saturday, but I’m still gonna lean in hard into believing everything I’m about to say. Auburn fans you may want to sit down. I think Kentucky not only wins this game, but I think they dominate Auburn on Saturday. That’s one. Two, I think Kentucky is superior on the O-Line and D-Line to Auburn. Three, Kentucky has a deeper stable of RBs than Auburn, and I never thought I’d say that. And last but not least, four, Kentucky will beat Auburn by double-digit points this weekend. They’re for real.
Kentucky 31, Auburn 20
