How and what to watch for Kentucky vs. No. 6 Florida

It takes place in the afternoon, but still make sure your kids are not watching this one because it’s going to get messy when the Kentucky Wildcats head on the road to play the Florida Gators on Saturday.

Florida entered the first College Football Playoff rankings at the No. 6 spot and should have a great shot at getting in if it runs through the rest of its season unbeaten with a win over Alabama in the SEC title game. The story for the Gators all year long has been their offense, which is ranked eighth in yards per play led by Heisman front runner Kyle Trask. Coming in at 6-1, all of the Florida wins came by 14 points or more, most recently a 38-17 road win over Vanderbilt.

As for Kentucky, it doesn’t have a whole lot to play for at this point, and we saw just how not motivated it is to compete against the best of college football when it traveled to Tuscaloosa and came home with a 63-3 loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday. Kentucky scored 38 on Vanderbilt because, ya know, it’s Vanderbilt, but in three of its last four games, this Kentucky offense score 10 points against Missouri and then three against Kentucky and Alabama.

Kentucky snapped a 31-game losing streak in this series in 2018, but the Gators started a new streak with a 29-21 road win last season.

The Best Bet

The clear advantage is Florida’s offense as it’s going to be about impossible for Kentucky to keep up with the Gators on Saturday. Dan Mullen has been a bit unhinged this season, and his team everything in front of it with three blowouts likely coming to close out the regular season. I like Florida to win this game and cover the spread with relative ease because while the Gators cannot brag about their defense, it’s still a lot better than what Kentucky rolls out offensively.

Pick: Gators -24.5
