Georgia football looks to get back on track vs. Kentucky football on Saturday afternoon.

Georgia football has had a long two weeks to think about what happened in Tuscaloosa.

The No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs head to Lexington after their bye week to face a Kentucky Wildcats team with its season on the brink. Georgia played two awful quarters vs. the Alabama Crimson Tide on the road two weeks ago, ending its quest at a perfect season well before Halloween. Well, Halloween this year will be up in Lexington and the Dawgs need to get to 4-1 before nightfall.

Georgia will be laying a whopping 17 points on the road vs. the home dog Wildcats. The associated money lines for this game are Georgia -830 and Kentucky +610. This game’s over/under comes in at a combined 42.5 points. The line has seen some action since its opening with Georgia having to lay an additional 2.5 on the road after its opening mark of 14.5. Odds are from Odds Shark.

Though the sleepy, early-window kickoff may serve the Wildcats right out the gate, Georgia is simply too deep and too talented to lose on the road in Lexington. Kirby Smart‘s team knows the Dawgs have to win and win convincingly vs. Kentucky to have momentum heading into their season-defining game vs. the arch rival Florida Gators down in Jacksonville next Saturday.

Unfortunately for Kentucky, offensive ineptitude will rear its ugly head early. Georgia will get a pair of defensive scores to win this one going away. Saturday will give Dawg Nation all the confidence it needs to head into Jacksonville next week vs. Florida. Georgia wins and covers with arguably its most complete performance of the year. It helps to have been coming off the bye week.

Prediction: Georgia 34, Kentucky 10.
