Tennessee vs Kentucky: Prediction| Pick| Spread
No. 3 Volunteers easily beat No. 19 Kentucky 44-6 on Saturday night, and No. 1 Georgia beat Florida 42-20 in Jacksonville to create an 8-0 team matchup in a week.
Kentucky had trouble covering Tennessee wide receiver Jalyn Hyatt from the start of the game. He was open and caught a 55-yard TD pass on the first drive of the game and caught another TD with no Kentucky defender near him just before halftime to give Volume a 27-6 lead on the break.
Prediction
An SEC East brawl involving divisional stakes as well as the national title is scheduled for Saturday when No. 3 Tennessee hosts No. 19 Kentucky. (Follow here for in-game updates.) With a trip to Georgia, which could decide the division on November 5, Tennessee will need to keep its focus on the present and avoid a trap as it is a Wildcats team. hosts. Will try to take revenge.
Kentucky’s only home loss was against Tennessee during a 10-3 attempt last year as the Volunteers ran from Lexington with a 45-42 victory despite 612 yards allowed. This year’s edition of the Wildcats is number 84 in total offense with just 373.7 yards per game, but they should be able to move the football against Tennessee.
One downside of volunteers’ electric, quick-strike offense is that their defense spends an enormous amount of time on the field. Tennessee ranks No. 1 in total offense and scoring offense but No. 122 in possession and No. 103 in total defense. In last season’s game, Kentucky held the football by more than 46 minutes. In the end, the wildcats could not keep up with the high-flying volunteers. Now he has a chance to try again.
