Saturday Down South’s Michael Bratton and Chris Marler predict the winner of Saturday’s game between #17 Kentucky and South Carolina.

Here is what they had to say about the game:

South Carolina at Kentucky (-2)

Michael: This line has swung all the back around to Kentucky after opening with South Carolina as a slight favorite but the damage had already been done. How so? Despite what some may think of Kentucky as a football program due to its historically low position on the SEC totem pole, this Wildcat team is for real. They have physically dominated in both league games played this year and are playing with a serious chip on their shoulder. Any euphoria that may have been experienced after whipping Mississippi State up and down the field in the second half of last weekend’s game likely disappeared the moment the Wildcats found out they would be an underdog at home to a team they have beaten four games in a row. South Carolina looked good last week coming off an unexpected bye but the Gamecocks won’t have that advantage heading into this game.

Chris: Remember like 20 years ago when you thought we’d have flying cars in 2018. And, instead, we have Bird Scooters and Carolina-Kentucky as the SEC Game of the Week. What a time to be alive y’all! Anyway, each week Kentucky proves why no one should keep sleeping on them. And, each week the media and Vegas sportsbooks hit the snooze button.

I’ve bet against Kentucky twice this year, and don’t feel confident either way on this game. But, the best win on Carolina’s resume is against Vandy (with an extra week off). It’s gonna be hard to get up emotionally for a 3rd big game in the month of September, but if you think I’m betting against Benny and a dude named Kash then you’re out of your mind. Oh, and the under is once again the play here.
