Kentucky at Missouri

Kentucky should be given credit for bouncing back from a 42-41 overtime loss to Mississippi and then coming back with two fine performances in beating Mississippi State 24-2 and Tennessee on the road 34-7. The win against the Volunteers broke a 17-game losing streak for the Wildcats in Knoxville. Kentucky's defense was dominant and it enjoyed two pick-sixes on consecutive possessions. The Wildcats are No. 18 in the country in yards allowed while giving up 20.0 points per game. Missouri surprisingly got a 45-41 victory over LSU as a 14-point underdog. Of course, LSU is not nearly the team it was a year ago when it won the National Championship, but QB Connor Bazelak had a huge day for Missouri throwing for 406 yards and four touchdowns. Kentucky has beaten the Tigers five times in a row following last season's 29-7 win. The Wildcats are on a current 9-3 ATS run overall and 7-3 ATS as a road favorite dating to last season. Missouri is 2-8 ATS its last 10 conference games. The Wildcats have the defense to cover this number. Play on Kentucky.
