ESPN has given reasons why Auburn will win or if Kentucky will pull it out on Thursday Night Football.
Here are their take:
Auburn at Kentucky
Why Auburn wins: This actually isn’t a terrible matchup for the Tigers. Sure, they’ll have to get to Patrick Towles, but his inconsistency could work in Auburn’s favor. And Kentucky’s defense hasn’t been that much better than Auburn’s. Gus Malzahn has had two weeks to fix his offense and start fresh. We’ll finally see some fire out of the Tigers tonight and they’ll win 24-20. — Edward Aschoff
Why Kentucky wins: Auburn still hasn’t named a starting quarterback yet. Honestly, I think Jeremy Johnson gives them the better chance to win, but I don’t trust him. What’s even more worrisome is the defense. Stanley “Boom” Williams is back for Kentucky, and if Auburn can’t get a pass rush, Towles might have a field day. With the college football world looking on, I’ve got the Wildcats picking up a 31-24 statement win. — Greg Ostendorf
