The Tennessee Volunteers come into this matchup with a 4-5 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after winning their recent home game against the UAB Blazers, 30-7. QB Jarrett Guarantano was unable to find much of a rhythm through the air as he connected on 13 of his 21 pass attempts for 147 yards, 1 TD, and 1 interception. RB Ty Chandler had a big game on the ground for the Volunteers as he ran for 85 yards and a TD on 16 carries.

Betting Trends for vs
The Kentucky Wildcats have been playing without a QB over their last few games, but they have been on the winning side with a 2-1 record, and I expect them to continue that success at home. Kentucky has employed a 95% run offense and it has worked as the duo of Lynn Bowden Jr. and Asim Rose has combined for 1098 yards and 7 TDs this year. Kentucky has also been very good on the defensive side of the ball as they are holding their opponents to an average of 21.2 PPG which ranks 32nd in the country, and that will be a problem for the Tennessee offense as they rank 92nd in scoring. Kentucky will own the time of possession with their ground attack, and I don’t expect the Tennessee offense to cause much of a scare to the defense. Final Score Prediction, Kentucky Wildcats win and cover ATS 28-17.
