Randy’s Free Pick
The Kentucky Wildcats are going to be big favorites because they’re at home, but Georgia has held its own up to this point and has already had success in the underdog role. Also, Kentucky has been underwhelming up to this point and hasn’t covered these big numbers it gets. There’s value with Georgia and the points. I’ll take them.
