Does this game not remind everyone of the Tulsa versus Mississippi State game a few days ago when the team with the awful record, that would in any other season not even sniff a Bowl Game, comes into the game favored? Would it not be hilarious if the only two SEC teams with losing records in the Bowl Season were the only two SEC teams to cover a spread in the Bowl Season? It worked out for Mississippi State and my system thinks it will workout for Kentucky as well. This won't be a popular play because Kentucky is 4-6 on the season while NC State is 8-3 but let me try to help you out a bit here. Kentucky has 6 losses on the year and they had a lot of talent to replace from last year's team but they also have a lot of Seniors playing their last game. Those losses came against Auburn, Mississippi State (both very early in season), Missouri, Georgia, Alabama and Florida. They ended their regular season with a 41-18 beatdown of South Carolina. NC State have 8 wins on the year but those came against Wake Forest, Pittsburgh, Virginia, Duke, Florida State, Liberty, Syracuse and Georgia Tech. If you saw Clemson and Notre Dame yesterday I won't talk about the ACC anymore because both beat similar opponents. NC State comes into this game only 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games as an Underdog, they are 0-4 ATS in their last four non-conference games and 1-7 ATS in their last eight games versus SEC Conference opponents. The Wolfpack are also 4-13 ATS in their last 17 games coming off a straight up win and 1-6 ATS in their last seven games after allowing less than 170 passing yards in their previous game. Kentucky is 7-0 ATS in their last seven non-conference games and they are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games versus a team with a winning record. They are also 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games as a Favorite and 12-3 ATS in their last 15 games after rushing for 200+ yards in their previous game. The Wildcats love to control the tempo of the game, they don't move fast and they take up a ton of time and if you're banking on NC State playing from behind you're probably in trouble. QB Bailey Hockman has thrown 8 interceptions this season and Kentucky's defense is #9 in the Country in takeaways with 13. Slow game that Kentucky and it's Seniors will control and win by forcing turnovers.
Trend of the Game: Kentucky is 7-0 ATS in their last seven games versus non-conference opponents.
Kentucky 30, NC State 9
