Georgia has won 13 of their last 15 games facing Kentucky and last season they beat the Wildcats 19-10.
Georgia has a solid offense ranking 42nd in the nation in passing offense and 19th in rushing offense. Aaron Murray has to get over the South Carolina loss where he did not play well, but the Bulldogs are deep at the WR position with the likes of Tavarres King, Marlon Brown, Malcolm Mitchell, Rantavious Wooten and Chris Conley. Kentucky has the nation’s 68th ranked pass defense and they gave up 372 yards through the air in their last loss to Arkansas. [soliloquy id=”82219″]
The Bulldogs have 2 great freshman running backs in Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall and each has at least 460 rushing yards and both are averaging over 7 yards per carry. Like Murray these guys struggled in the loss to South Carolina and they may get back on track since the UK run defense ranks 87th in the nation.
Kentucky’s offense is less than dynamic to say the least since they rank 95th in the nation in passing yards per game and 110th in rushing yards per game. They have been hit hard by the injury bug at the QB position and they have used 4 different signal callers this season. Top rusher Raymond Sanders has 171 rushing yards in his last 4 games.
In some betting trends for this SEC match up Georgia is 6-1 ATS vs. a team with a losing record, 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games overall, and they have an Over record of 7-1 in their last 8 games.
Kentucky 0-4 ATS in their last 4 conference games, 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games, and they have an Over record of 5-2 in their last 7 games.
In the last 5 games between these 2 teams in Kentucky the total has gone Over 4 times.
Jason’s Pick: Hard to go with any SEC road team giving 27.5 points, but since UK has a weak offense and their D has not played well the Bulldogs will easily win this game and cover the spread.
