152 Tennessee (-2.5) vs 151 Kentucky
Volunteers have fought back with three straight wins (now 5-6) and have a chance to become bowl-eligible with a home win over Kentucky. Freshman QB Tyler Bray has led Tennessee to wins of 50-14 at Memphis, 52-15 at home vs Ole Miss and 24-10 at Vanderbilt. He's thrown 10 TDs with just two INTs and has averaged 293.3 YPG through the air. Junior RB Poole has added nice balance during the team's winning streak, averaging 102.3 YPG rushing while scoring four times. He's now got 935 yards for the year, after gaining just 171 yards in his first two season in Knoxville.
The Tennessee 'D' has also done its part, allowing just 12.7 PPG during the three-game winning streak on a modest 312.0 YPG. The Wildcats are 6-5 and coming off a bye and will surely test that 'D' with QB Hartline (65.7%, 22 TDs and just 8 INTs), RB Locke (719 YR / 5.5 YPC / 9 TDs), the do-everything Cobb (376 YR / 8.0 YPC / 5 TDs plus 66 catches for 7 TDs) plus WR Matthews (51 catches / 9 TDs). However, Volunteers has won 27 consecutive regular season finales plus own 25 straight wins over Kentucky, the nation's longest active winning streak of one school over another. Take the home team.
