In this article, we will formulate a Kentucky vs Vanderbilt Prediction for this College Football Week 7 Game on Saturday, October 12th, at Kroger Field.  Let’s take a look at a Kentucky Wildcats vs Vanderbilt Commodores pick.

Kentucky is Coming off Quite The Win

Kentucky is coming off quite the win in the last game. Kentucky’s defense held an explosive Ole Miss offfense to only 17 points and they ended up winning by three points. Brock Vandergriff completed 18 of his 28 passes for 243 yards and a touchdown. The defense also stepped up and allowed Henry Parrish to only rush for 62 yards. This same Kentucky team lost Georgia by only one point. 

Kentucky on the season is averaging 22 points while their defense is giving up 13.4 points per game. The offense is ranked 106th in the league while the defense is ranked 11th. In this game the defense is going to need to step up in a big way again. 

Can Vanderbilt Follow Up On Biggest Win In History?

The Vanderbilt win against Alabama in the last Game was the biggest in team History, but the big question is how do they bounce back and focus now on the Game. Vanderbilt faced off against Alabama and the offense scored 40 points on the way to the five point victory. Diego Pavia is the perfect addition to this team, and he has changed the entire team’s culture. Diego Pavia completed 16 of his 20 passes for 252 yards and two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Top wide receiver Eli Stowers finished with six catches for 113 yards. 

Vanderbilt is averaging 37.6 points while their defense is giving up 25.6 points per Game. The offense is ranked 22nd in the league while the defense is ranked 84th. In this Game, Pavia is going to need to have a strong Game

Kentucky vs Vanderbilt Prediction

Give me Vanderbilt here. I understand that Kentucky’s defense is good, but I still don’t trust thier offense and their offense isn’t going to exactly be elite here. Pavia isn’t going to be intimidated by the Kentucky defense and he’s going to have a solid game. They might not score 40 points like they did in the last game but they are going to score at least 24 points and that will be enough to cover the spread. Back Vanderbilt against the spread.
