LSU Tigers vs. Kentucky Wildcats Prediction
I’m leaning under in this one. It’s scary to take an under wtih a Lane Kiffin coached team that’s been known to keep their foot on the gas, but there’s rumored to be lots of bad weather across college football on Saturday including this game, leading to a lot of running the football and a constantly moving clock. I think this one ends up coming ino under the number so give me the under here.
