The Kentucky Wildcats are turning the page after a humiliating loss at Tennessee last weekend. They’ll look to rebound with a road victory at the Missouri Tigers.

Saturday morning’s kickoff is an early one, with start time set for noon ET. However, the Wildcats have to be eager to get on the football field and play better football.

Expert Picks

Prediction

Kentucky will hit the road for the second week in a row, which makes this an unideal spot for the Wildcats. However, Kentucky has the better quarterback, defense and skill position players. The Wildcats were absolutely embarrassed last Saturday at Tennessee and good coaches tend to bounce back after ugly losses. Kentucky wins outright on the road.

Final Score: Kentucky 24, Missouri 16
