Coming off of the loss to South Carolina, Kentucky will come out angry and motivated to make a statement. Expect Brock Vandagriff to get out of the pocket early and often and look for intermediate to deep throws to put the Georgia defense on their toes. Barion Brown and Dane Key will be critical in the game for Kentucky, and the Wildcats will make every effort to get their best playmakers the ball.

Unfortunately, it won't really matter. Georgia will dominate along both lines of scrimmage, and the pass rush will open up more and more as the game goes on, anchored by linebacker Jalon Walker. The secondary will contain Kentucky's passing game and force Kentucky to try and readjust. Offensively, Carson Beck will be tested by an experienced Wildcat secondary, but Trevor Etienne and the run game will eventually open up the passing game and allow playmakers like Dillon Bell and Dominic Lovett to shine.

Odds courtesy of BetMGM as of Thursday

Odds: Georgia is favored by 24.5 points

O/U: 45.5

Score Prediction

Kentucky starts aggressive, but Georgia is simply the better team in the end. The Bulldogs win it, 37-6, and begin their road back to Atlanta.
