Kentucky looks to end a 17 game SEC losing streak when they host Vanderbilt in Commonwealth Stadium today. UK comes in a 17 point favorite.
The guys from Saturday Down South made their prediction.
Vanderbilt at Kentucky (-17)
Brad: As much as I want to believe in the Commodores and Derek Mason’s new regime, Vanderbilt simply doesn’t have the personnel right now to compete at a .500 level in the SEC. Ralph Webb’s the only threat on offense and Caleb Azubike is having to do too much defensively. Darrius Sims gave the Commodores a spark on special teams last week against South Carolina but now that a new weapon in the kicking game’s been revealed, I doubt Kentucky will give No. 6 many chances this week. Kentucky breaks a 17-game losing streak in conference play with a big home win. Kentucky 38, Vanderbilt 17
Christopher: The Commodores have scored 34 points in consecutive games, but needed two kickoff returns for touchdowns to do so against a weak South Carolina defense. Vandy’s running game and defensive front are decent, while I still think Patrick Towles will throw more interceptions than touchdowns in SEC play. Kentucky has outperformed the spread in all three games and nearly beat Florida. They need this win to float legitimate hope of reaching a bowl game, but Vandy isn’t as bad as the first two weeks. Kentucky 31, Vanderbilt 21
I think Kentucky will do a little better, I think they will cover the spread.
Prediction Vanderbilt vs. Kentucky Vandy 17 Kentucky 45 Braylon Heard MVP.
