The CBS Sports college football staff is (almost) all in on Auburn to beat Kentucky this afternoon.
Six of the seven contributors picked the Tigers to win the game, with only David Cobb picking UK. Five of seven predict the Wildcats will cover the spread (+7.5).
Here’s an excerpt:

Game prediction, picks
I’ll take Kentucky and grab those points. No, it’s not because I think that the Wildcats will spring the upset. This just feels like an old-school, defense-driven slug fest in which neither team will find much of a flow offensively. Nix should be more of an impact player in the running game, and Morris is supposedly adding more over-the-middle passing elements to an offense that has been lacking in that department. The element of the unknown will jump up and bite Kentucky enough to give Auburn the win … but not the cover. Pick: Kentucky (+7.5)
