The Tigers are coming off a disappointing regular season in which they compiled an 8-4 record (4-4) ACC. As for the Wildcats (7-5, 3-5 SEC), they started 5-0 before losing 5 of their last 7 games.'

Part of the value in a Same Game Parlay, of course, is that all of its components can be correlated if you so choose. That is the entire plan here, as Kentucky running back Ray Davis having a huge day would obviously work well with a Wildcats upset. Let's break down each of the 3 legs.
Kentucky ML (+158)'
Kentucky's offense should find success against a depleted Clemson front 7, especially since Davis is playing despite recently declaring for the 2024 NFL Draft. The Tigers are expected to be without 5 starters on defense, including linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr. Meanwhile, Kentucky is 11th nationally in rushing explosiveness behind a fully healthy offensive line that ranks in the top 50 in tackles for loss allowed. It's also worth noting that there is projected to be 13 mph winds with gusts up to 29 mph and a chance of rain during the game. Both offenses will probably try to work their rushing attack, but the bad news for Clemson is that the Wildcats are'much better against the run than they are against the pass. UK limits opponents to 113.9 rushing yards per game (25th in FBS) and'make'6.1 tackles for loss per game (39th in FBS). In a matchup with plenty of opt-outs, the playing field is more even than the odds would suggest. Don't be surprised by a minor upset.'
