Kentucky vs Georgia SEC Football Prediction
Even despite this game being played in what will likely be a packed Kroger Field, it still feels like Georgia wins this game by at-least two touchdowns. Yes, the Bulldogs and Wildcats’ defenses will likely keep this game fairly low-scoring, but Kentucky will not be able to keep up with Georgia on offense, leading to the nation’s top team remaining unbeaten. Prediction: Kentucky 14, Georgia 33
