Kentucky vs. Georgia Prediction: Opening Odds & Early Picks for College Football Week 6

Making a Kentucky vs. Georgia prediction for Saturday’s noon ET game (ABC) at Sanford Stadium in Athens, Ga., is difficult due to the inconsistent play of both teams. Coming off a home loss to Alabama, the opening odds have the Bulldogs listed as a 20.5-point betting favorite.

My college football picks suggest that while the Wildcats were blown out at South Carolina last week, considering a much closer 30-23 loss to No. 4 Ole Miss earlier this season, they may be able to keep this close. 

Our college football predictions for Week 6 will have you covered for all of the action across this weeks slate.

😾  Kentucky +20.5 (-110) ⭐⭐⭐

The Bulldogs are 3-1 and have a 44-41 win at Tennessee on their resume. However, last week’s loss to Alabama, and a close game against Austin Peay in Week 2 have me doubting their ability to blow out anyone.

The Wildcats lost to South Carolina by 22 points, giving up 178 rushing yards in the process. However, stopping the run hasn’t been a huge issue for the Wildcats, as they’re allowing just 3.8 yards per carry this season. Georgia is averaging 5.0 yards per carry, but it averaged just 3.6 yards per carry against Tennessee. I expect the Wildcats to fluster the Bulldogs’ run-first offense and keep this relatively close.

FanDuel is offering +20.5 for -104. This implies the Wildcats have a 50.98% chance of covering. A $10 bet would pay $9.62.

🔍 Kentucky vs. Georgia odds analysis

The spread has already dropped from 21.5 to 20.5 at the best sports betting sites. While I don’t expect the number to get below 20, the betting public will really have to love Georgia to get this spread back above three scores. I’m thinking it will stay at 20.5 all week, but I’d be much more confident in the Wildcats at 21.5.

The total is sitting at 48.5. Both teams have had two games go above and below this number. With so much still undecided about these teams, I don’t expect this number to move much, if at all.
