Kentucky vs Jackson State Prediction

This is a massive line, and the Kentucky Wildcats could easily take their foot off the gas at some point. However, Kentucky is 3-0-1 ATS in its last four games, so they’re doing a fine job currently. Jackson State is licking its wounds with road game after road game and its 2-3 ATS. Jackson State needs to buckle down defensively or this game will get away. Either way, it’s Kentucky or pass, given the wide talent gap.
