Kentucky vs Louisville Prediction
Louisville comes into this matchup trying to snap a three game losing streak and they were dominated last week against SMU. The Cardinals have scored just 25 points in their last two games and they are dealing with an injury to their starting quarterback. Kentucky has won three of their last four games, but they did allow 45 points to Vanderbilt last week. The Wildcats need to win this game to gain bowl eligibility and I think this game is very winnable for them. It is tough to know if Moss will play or not, but I am going to assume he is out.
