Saturday Down South’s Michael Bratton and Connor O’Gara predict the winner of Saturday’s game between Kentucky and Eastern Michigan.
Here is what they had to say about the game:
Eastern Michigan at Kentucky (-14.5)
Michael: Another team that could suffer from a hangover similar to the one you might get after going on a bender with a mason jar of Bluegrass State moonshine is, of course, Kentucky. How will the Wildcats respond to getting their hearts ripped out be Florida once again? We’ve seen this team play down to the level of its competition twice this season and it’s hard to imagine Kroger Field creating much of an atmosphere for this one after last week’s letdown.
Kentucky 27 Eastern Michigan 13
Connor: This is a good test for Mark Stoops’ team. Why? Because for a team the prides itself on having the right mindset, this game will show how quickly his team is able to bounce back from a crushing loss. If the Wildcats really are the team that plays with a chip on their shoulder, this one should be over by halftime. Benny Snell Jr. should run wild and get Kentucky back on track in a big way.
Kentucky 34, Eastern Michigan 14
