Tennessee vs Kentucky Prediction

I’m on the Vols here. There’s a distinct possibility that the Wildcats could be the worst team in the SEC as the offense is non-existent and Brock Vandagriff’s been showing why he never was the guy at Georgia when he was there. The Vols’ offense has taken a nosedive since conference play started, but while SEC underdogs in conference play have been money, I think this is one Game where the favorite gets it done. Give me Tennessee.
