Saturday Down South’s Michael Bratton and Connor O’Gara predict the winner of Saturday’s game between Kentucky and Louisville.
Here is what they had to say about the game:
Louisville (-10) at Kentucky
Michael: Kentucky’s record is nice but anytime the Wildcats have gone up against a quality opponent, the results have been fairly lopsided. Louisville is coming off a few nice wins and Lamar Jackson is having arguably the quietest season a returning Heisman winner has ever had considering his performance has not dropped off. Benny Snell may be the SEC’s most underrated running back but he can’t match the fireworks of the reigning Heisman winner.
Louisville 42, Kentucky 28
Connor: I don’t like to reference history with matchups because I don’t think it’s necessarily an indicator of future performance. But it’s easy to question if the Cardinals can block for 60 minutes like they failed to do last year. Of course, having arguably the most dynamic quarterback in America is supposed to be the great equalizer. There’s something else I realized with this one, and it’s a credit to the Louisville offensive line. Does anyone realize that Louisville ran for 709 yards in the last 2 games alone? Even against a Kentucky squad that’s been fairly decent against the run, I think Louisville’s offense is finally playing its best ball of the season, and that continues in Lexington.
Louisville 38, Kentucky 24
