Location: Kroger Field | Lexington, Ky. Spread: Kentucky -13.5 Total: 58.5 The Ohio Bobcats (5-5) head to Kroger Field on Saturday to take on the Kentucky Wildcats (6-4). The game is scheduled to start at 7:30 pm and will be televised on ESPN+. Ohio has won four of their last five games, including a 30-28 win over Buffalo last Saturday. The Bobcats are led by quarterback Kurtis Rourke, who has thrown for 2,600 yards and 24 touchdowns this season. Kentucky snapped a two-game losing streak with a 24-14 win over Vanderbilt last week. The Wildcats are led by quarterback Will Levis, who has thrown for 1,886 yards and 12 touchdowns this season. Kentucky is a 13.5-point favorite in this game, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. The Wildcats are also a -650 favorite on the moneyline, while the Bobcats are a +450 underdog. The over/under for the game is set at 58.5 points.

Prediction

Kentucky is the clear favorite in this game, and I expect the Wildcats to win by at least two touchdowns. Levis is a more experienced quarterback than Rourke, and the Wildcats have a more talented roster overall. Ohio has been playing well lately, but they have not faced a team as good as Kentucky this season. The Bobcats will need to play their best game of the season to have a chance to win. I predict that Kentucky will win this game 38-17.
