Will the Kentucky Wildcats take care of business against South Carolina?
The Kentucky Wildcats are getting ready to take on a South Carolina team that really struggled in week one. They found a way to win at home against Old Dominion and now will head to Lexington to take on the Kentucky Wildcats.
This is a huge game for the Wildcats because there is a chance College GameDay will be in town for Week 3 agaisnt Georgia if the Wildcats can beat South Carolina.believes the Kentucky Wildcats are going to lose at home to the South Carolina Gamecocks 24-20. Here is the justification about this take from Helms.
"My prediction is going to be different than most others you’ll find on the internet. CFN’s Strength of Schedule model puts this line closer to the 2.5-3 point range in favor of Kentucky, much less than the 10 that the line has been bet to. Shane Beamer’s teams have historically underwhelmed in Week 1 before going back to the drawing board prior to Week 2.
Ten seems like a lot to give the Gamecocks here, even if they struggled in Week 1. This game is almost always close and low scoring. I lean towards going under an already low total. A lot has to go right for the Gamecocks after a lot went wrong last season, but Beamer has three wins as a 10-point underdog since 2021, the third-most in college football in that time.
If Kentucky can take down the Gamecocks, it will set up one of the biggest football games in Lexington in a very long time.
