The Kentucky Wildcats
Team Preview!
Im not sure if I like this Kentucky squad or not. The Wildcats go and beat Ole Miss, then lose to Vandy, now they have to take on Florida and will play Auburn next. Kentucky has won 4 of its last 6 road games. Brock Vandagriff is completing 59.8 percent of his passes for 951 yards, 5 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions. Dane Key and Barion Brown have combined for 666 receiving yards and 4 touchdowns, while Demie Sumo-Karngbaye has 10 receptions.
The Kentucky Wildcats ground game is averaging 153.3 yards per contest, and Sumo-Karngbaye leads the way with 380 yards and 4 touchdowns. Defensively, Kentucky is allowing 14.5 points and 251.5 yards per game. Jamon Dumas-Johnson leads the Kentucky Wildcats with 29 tackles, J.J. Weaver has 4 sacks and D'Eryk Jackson has 1 interception. This team has talent and could do better in my opinion but can they actually do it?
The Florida Gators
Team Preview!
The Florida Gators are not much easier to figure out either, they beat UCF, lost to Tennessee, and they play Georgia next. The Florida Gators have won 6 of their last 10 home games. DJ Lagway is completing 65.3 percent of his passes for 765 yards, 5 touchdowns, and 4 interceptions. Elijah Badger and Chimere Dike have combined for 729 receiving yards and 4 touchdowns, while Eugene Wilson III has 18 receptions.
The Florida Gators ground game is averaging 141.8 yards per contest, and Montrell Johnson Jr. leads the way with 373 yards and 4 touchdowns. Defensively, Florida is allowing 24.2 points and 381.2 yards per game. Jordan Castell leads the Florida Gators with 30 tackles, Tyreak Sapp has 3.5 sacks and Shemar James has 1 interception. I’m not a Gator fan at all but I wish them well here!
The Kentucky vs Florida
Game Prediction!
The Pick: Florida Gators ML
The Wildcats are coming off a bad loss to Vanderbilt and that could have a carry-over effect in my opinion. The Florida Gators have quietly been playing good football, after beating Mississippi State, UCF, and then nearly upsetting Tennessee on the road. Florida should also have more stability at the quarterback position with Graham Mertz tearing his ACL.
Instead of the constant QB switch, Lagway will see all of the reps and have a chance to gain a rhythm. Kentucky has only beaten Florida 5 times since 1980. Them putting this Linear A near pick 'em spot, I'll roll with the Gators at home to win this game!
