Why Kentucky can cover

Kentucky is coming off a rough showing against South Carolina, but that could certainly be considered a look-ahead game with this matchup on deck. The Wildcats cruised to a 31-0 win over Southern Miss in their opener, even though that game was called short in the third quarter due to weather. Junior quarterback Brock Vandagriff threw for 169 yards and three touchdowns, while senior running back Demie Sumo-Karngbaye rushed for 59 yards and a score.

Vandagriff spent the first three seasons of his career as a backup at Georgia, so he has extra motivation heading into this game. The Wildcats' top two running backs are both averaging 5.2 yards per carry, and their ability to control the time of possession gives them an edge in a game that features a huge spread. They have covered the spread in four of their last five games against Georgia. See which team to pick here.

Why Georgia can cover

Georgia entered the season as the national title favorite, and nothing has changed after two weeks. The Bulldogs dominated then-No. 14 Clemson in their season opener, holding the Tigers to just 188 total yards and three points. Meanwhile, Georgia quarterback Carson Beck completed 23 of 33 passes for 278 yards and two touchdowns.

The Bulldogs were able to rest their starters down the stretch of last week's 48-3 win over Tennessee Tech , while Kentucky was blown out by South Carolina. It was a concerning performance for the Wildcats, as they finished with 183 total yards and went 3 of 14 on third down. Georgia is riding a 15-game road winning streak and has not lost to Kentucky in 15 years. See which team to pick here.
