Saturday: #19 Kentucky @ #3 Tennessee

[Wagerallsports]

Looking ahead to this game Saturday does anyone think the Wildcats can slow this Tennessee offense down?

Volunteers are -12.5

Can Tennessee stop Kentucky?

Vols defense is bad. Will likely cost them

 

[Tanko]

Tennessee is very good. I mean Top 4 playoff good.
But, +12.5 for Kentucky!!!!! SIGN ME UP. That line is 4-5 pts too high IMO.

 

[doofy]

Both good questions. Eventually Tennessee will have a bad week. But is it this weekend?

kentucky has to stop the vols from scoring in order to win the game if not ky will end up losing.

Vols going win but won’t cover that 12.5. It will be close and don’t think either team will stop the other from scoring as it will be high scoring game.

We agree 100% Headsterx. Feeling good about my early bet on Kent. Thanks.

If KY is to cover they'll have to limit Tenn to under 35 points.

I just don't see that happening

KY will have to convert some risky 4th downs and not kick FGs if they're to get to over 24 points.

Likely 40-24 or 43 -27 type game w the back door being the only shot at a cover.

I like betting the back door cover in less quality leagues, not SEC when style points count for CFP

Kentucky should score north of 30 here, so it'll be up to the defense to offer some resistance

Kentucky vs Tenn Strengths/Weaknesses:

• Kentucky has a good shot of slowing down the great (3rd in CFB) Tenn pass game. Their pass D is 15th in the country. That will be a good matchup to watch. Tenn will still get their passing yards but not nearly as many as they normally do.
• Tenn run game is also good (23rd) but Kentucky Rush D is good too (34th).
• Kentucky run game will be shutdown by Tenn rush-D (6th in CFB).

So where is Tennessee's achilles heal? Their pass D. They are dead-a$$ lasts in NCAA pass D (#131) allowing 332 ypg. Kentucky's pass game is decent enough to capitalize on the Vol's secondary. Will Levis will have some impressive stats this week. If he doesn't the Wildcats will not cover.

The passing game will be fun to watch. Its the key to the game on both sides of the ball.

Almost every metric I look at is telling me take the points and cash the ticket.

Is this the look ahead game for the Vols??? They travel to Athens a week later and may not be fully focused.

Excellent point.

 

[Wagerallsports]

The more I look at this game more entertaining I think it's going to be Saturday

 

[Bettor Days]

Kentucky won't be able to slow them down enough.

Kentucky at Tennessee (-12, 61½): The road team in this series has won outright three straight years. The Wildcats have covered their last four as an underdog. The Volunteers are 6-1 ATS this season, and the over is 15-4 in Tennessee’s past 19 games. The under is 7-1 in Kentucky’s last eight games.

I am 1000000% on the Wildcats in this one. +12.5
