Kentucky Wildcats vs. Texas A&M Aggies Prediction

I’m on Texas A&M here. I know it’s a big number for a conference game and the jury is still out on what Texas A&M’s ceiling could actually be this season. However, Kentucky was sky high for that game against Alabama last week and started strong before collapsing in the second half, and I think it could take a little bit to get the mojo back after such a disappointing showing. I look for the Aggies to take care of business at home here and to get the win and cover in this one.
