Prediction

Why does this game feel like one Kentucky can steal on the road? Is it because Kentucky played Georgia as close as anyone last year? Or is it because Kentucky beat the doors off Florida last weekend while Georgia had to escape on the road against Auburn?

What about Kentucky’s defense and how well they’ve played this year? It just feels like this is a game Kentucky can win. And that’s hardly ever the case when the Wildcats play No. 1 ranked teams. One is allowed to dream, and this really feels like a dream. But why not UK?
