4. Georgia beats Kentucky by 20+ points

Despite the fact that the Georgia Bulldogs and Kentucky Wildcats both play in the SEC East, there hasn’t really been any semblance of a rivalry between these two programs in recent memory. The last time that the Wildcats topped the Bulldogs was almost a decade ago (2009). What’s more, the team now headed by Kirby Smart has won 19 of the last 21 meetings between Georgia and Kentucky. Thus, if it is any kind of rivalry, it’s a one-sided one.

While that may be so, this Kentucky team is far different than they’ve been in recent years. The Wildcats have far exceeded expectations for the 2018 season, starting out the year with a 7-1 record and having climbed to being the ninth-ranked team in the country. Headlined by a strong running game led by Benny Snell and a stout defense on the opposite side of the ball, the Wildcats are for real in 2018.

On the other hand, Georgia came into this season looking to get back to the National Championship Game, where they fell to Alabama a year ago. However, those plans were derailed against LSU when the Tigers handled them easily to drop them to 7-1 on the year as well.

On Saturday as the Bulldogs head to Lexington, though, this isn’t an evenly matched game. Georgia has too much firepower on offense for Kentucky’s defense to fully handle, and the Wildcats then don’t have the offense — specifically, the passing attack — to then play come-from-behind football. Subsequently, Georgia is going to make a statement on the road in this one and not just get past Kentucky, but annihilate them.
