Texas Can’t Mess This Up

Texas can’t mess this up as they sit with a 9-1 record and are trying to make the college football playoff. In the last game against Arkansas, they might have played down to the competition a little bit. Texas only scored 20 points against the Razorbacks but the defense gave up only 10 points and that led to the victory. Quinn Ewers completed 20 of his 32 passes for 176 yards and two touchdowns. Jaydon Blue also had a strong game finishing with 14 carries for 83 yards. Texas on the season is averaging 37 points while their defense is giving up 11.9 points per game. The offense is ranked 13th in the league while the defense is ranked 8th. In this game, Texas needs to get out to a fast start. 

Why Texas Will Beat Kentucky

• Texas has won each of its last 15 home games against non-AP-ranked teams.
• Kentucky has lost seven of its last eight November games against AP-ranked teams.
• Texas has covered the spread in each of its last four November games as a home favorite against non-AP-ranked teams.
• Kentucky has failed to cover the spread in three of its last four road games against the top 3 AP-ranked teams.

What a Disappointing Season for Kentucky

It has been nothing but a disappointing season for Kentucky but maybe last week’s game against Murray State is all they needed to get the confidence back. Kentucky scored 48 points while the defense gave up only six points on the way to the blowout victory. Brock Vandagriff completed 12 of his 19 passes for 183 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. The quarterback play has just been too inconsistent for this team to have a really good year. Kentucky overall this season is averaging 21.9 points while their defense is giving up 19.3 points per game. The offense is ranked 109th while the defense is ranked 21st. In this game, the offense needs to get going for Kentucky. 

Kentucky vs Texas Prediction

I am not sold on the Kentucky offense and they are going to really struggle to get the offense going here. Texas is going to create a couple of turnovers early and all that confidence that Kentucky might have had is going out the window. Texas on the other hand is going to get the offense out to a fast start and this game will get out of hand early. Texas is going to roll. Back Texas against the spread here.
