NEWSLETTER College Football Prediction From Robert Ferringo
Take #140 Kentucky (-17) over Vanderbilt (Noon, Saturday, Sept. 27)
I had my free pick winning streak snapped last week with the Redskins getting in the back door. But I also made it back-to-back winning NFL weekends with my rated selections, and this week will be one of my biggest combined college and pro cards of the season, with at least two 7-Unit Plays on the docket. In the meantime, let’s start a new winning streak here behind the Wildcats. Kentucky is a massive favorite in this one. It’s a little disorienting, in fact. But Mark Stoops has this team playing well, and they have had two weeks to prepare for this revenge game against the Commodores. Kentucky has lost three straight in this series – all by double-digits – and they were embarrassed 40-0 on this very field just two seasons ago. It is payback time. Kentucky covered as an 18-point favorite against Miami, OH last year (41-7). And if you dig back into the Rich Brooks Era the Wildcats are actually 7-2 ATS when they have been favored by 10 or more points since 2008. It doesn’t happen often, but when UK is expected to lay the wood they usually deliver. Vanderbilt is a train wreck. They are on the road for the first time this year after a 1-3 homestand that saw them get demolished by Temple (37-7) and Ole Miss (41-3). South Carolina was in a letdown spot and did everything they could to give Vandy that game last week, and the Commodores still lost by 14. Now they are on the road against a rested and revenge-minded opponent. I don’t see them staying within three touchdowns, so I will gladly lay this number with the Wildcats.
