Kentucky Wildcats vs. Georgia Bulldogs Prediction
I’m on Georgia here. I just think this is a case of wrong place and wrong time for Kentucky with Georgia finding a way to lose against Alabama once again and this time taking their first loss at home at night in a long time. I think Kirby Smart was not making practice easy for Georgia this week and I look for the Bulldogs to take out some frustration on an inept Kentucky offense. Give me Georgia in a beatdown.
