The current betting odds have Vanderbilt listed as a 17.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Vanderbilt has been terrible this season as they do not have a conference win this season yet but they really haven't been that bad in their games lately. Vandy has played in many close games lately despite losing them all and even if they lose this game on the road to Kentucky, they will find a way to keep it close as they have been doing. Kentucky hasn't been that great in their games lately either, they got a much needed win in their last game over Missouri but even when they do win games, it hasn't been by a lot lately. Their offense has been struggling to put up a ton of points in their games all year and their defense has really been their biggest strength this season. The defense is what will give Kentucky their best chance to win here so even if they don't allow any points from Vandy here, it is hard to see the Kentucky offense putting up many points themselves. The best way to place a bet here is on Vanderbilt to cover the spread in this game.

"Disappointed in the game, disappointed in the result. We knew that we weren't going to be able to find the success we wanted turning the ball over. Obviously, that became an issue. The game for us comes down to turnovers and tackling." - Clark Lea after his team’s loss against South Carolina in their last game.

 

 

"It was just a remarkable play by him. At first I was like, ‘Well, I wish he would have taken the safety.' But he made a remarkable play." - Mark Stoops after his team’s win against Mizzou in their last game.
