Florida vs Kentucky Prediction
In this Florida vs Kentucky prediction for this College Football Week 11 matchup on Saturday, November 14th, Kentucky is coming as -3.5 home favorites. Kentucky has been the better team this season, with an almost perfect home record and in excellent form, with a 6-1 record in their last 7 games. On the flip side, Florida is 1-4 both straight up and against the spread in its last 5 games and their strong offense is taking a hit on the road, having scored just 25 points in two of its last three road games combined. Facing a strong Kentucky defense on the road, where they have lost and failed to cover their last three visits means trouble, and I will lay the small number with the Kentucky Wildcats in this one.
