Kentucky vs Ole Miss Prediction

Kentucky is going to get the benefit of the doubt at home where 10 of its 13 wins have come, but we’ve seen the Wildcats struggle with big numbers and against respectable teams all season. Ole Miss isn’t lighting the world on fire with its 6-13 ATS record, but it is coming off road upsets over Mississippi State and Georgia. We’ve seen Kentucky get punked in games this season and when shots aren’t falling, it stops defending. Kentucky should win, but I’ll take a stab with the points on early Saturday.
