Auburn vs Kentucky Prediction

Give me Auburn getting the points here. Auburn is averaging 28.1 points and they are going to find some offensive success here. Kentucky in the last game really struggled in the defense and they are going to really struggle to defend again here. Kentucky had issues turning the ball over in the last game and it’s going to be much off the same here. Auburn’s offense is going to score enough here to cover the spread.
