Vanderbilt catches Kentucky in a vulnerable scheduling spot after the Wildcats suffered their first loss of the season at Texas A&M in overtime. The Wildcats were outgained 390-178 and managed only 70 rushing yards on 30 carries and quarterback Terry Wilson was just 13-of-20 for 108 yards and a touchdown. Kentucky is averaging only 25.6 points against FBS teams and the Wildcats are laying double-digits in this matchup. Vanderbilt has covered the number five of the last seven meetings and it comes off a 37-27 loss to Florida after blowing an 18-point lead. Kyle Shurmur went 18-of-36 passing for 229 yards with two touchdowns and one interception for the Commodores. Kentucky is 8-17 ATS its last 25 games when following a loss and 8-20 ATS its last 28 home games. Also, the Wildcats play down to the competition as they are 1-6 ATS their last seven versus teams with losing records and 1-5 ATS their last six home games against teams with losing road records. The Wildcats have had two weeks to get the Texas A&M loss out of their systems, however, their offense has shown that they're laying too many points in this one. Take the points with Vanderbilt.
