Kentucky vs. Missouri game thread and pregame reading

The Kentucky Wildcats (2-2) take on the Missouri Tigers (1-2) in Columbia at 4 pm ET on SEC Network. You can stream the game online at Watch ESPN or with a free trial of fuboTV.

This matchup tends to bring a good game every single year since the Tigers joined the SEC. With that said, this year the Cats are coming into the game as 3.5-point favorites after the line dropped from six earlier in the week.

Kentucky’s defense has been on a roll over their last two games. 10 turnovers, nine interceptions and three pick-sixes is quite the stat and I don’t see this unit slowing down any time soon.

As for Missouri, it’s been a rocky start to the season. After taking consecutive losses to Alabama and Tennessee, they beat LSU 45-41 and then had their game against Vandy postponed.

Considering the Tigers lost to Tennessee 35-12, you have to like UK’s chances if they come ready to play and aren’t caught looking ahead to next week’s clash with No. 5 Georgia. Also, we all remember the Cats’ rushing attack last year against Missouri where Lynn Bowden torched the defense for 200+ yards. They’ll need another big game on the ground to pull off what would be their first road win.

The time before that? Terry Wilson to C.J. Conrad happened.
