Kentucky Wildcats open as a slight favorite over the Florida Gators

Despite losing to the Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday and being dismantled in the fourth quarter, the Kentucky Wildcats should still, generally speaking, control their own destiny. It feels safe to say that any 2-loss SEC team would crack the College Football Playoff. With Florida , Missouri, and Louisville remaining on their schedule, that three-game win streak isn't going to come easy. While none of those three programs are ranked now, all three have been at times throughout the season and should give their best against the high-profile Cats. That said, for the Cats to sustain their CFP odds, winning Saturday at home is a must. The sportsbooks seem to think they'll be able to get things done as well. Kentucky opened as a 2.5-point home favorite, but that quickly jumped to 3.5 points, where it currently sits at DraftKings Sportsbook . The total is 53.5. The Cats are -166 on the moneyline, which means a bet of $166 on them to win outright would net $100 for a total payout of $266. 🚨 Kentucky opens as 2.5-point favorites against Florida on Saturday inside Kroger Field, according to FanDuel! 😼 Both teams will be coming off a loss heading into this

Florida defense preview: Brad White returns to Kentucky

Kentucky football cannot allow one loss to turn into two this weekend as they host the Florida Gators under the lights of Kroger Field on Saturday night. Jon Sumrall started the month of September looking like he already brought the Gators back to the top of college football, but Florida is reeling after losing four of their last five games. We previewed the Gators run heavy attack on offense , now we look at the defense that has struggled all season. Former Kentucky defensive coordinator Brad White is now leading the Gators defense and it has not been pretty. Florida's defense is allowing 27 points per game and have struggled all season. The Gators rank 15th in the SEC in success rate allowed, they rank 12th in rushing success rate allowed and they are dead last in the conference in passing success rate allowed. This is an ideal bounce back spot for a Kentucky offense that failed to score a touchdown last week at Tennessee. If they come ready to play, this could be one of the best performances of the season for quarterback Kenny Minchey. We saw Brad White's defense for years at Kentucky, and the bend-don't-break philosophy with
