A jam-packed slate of college football on Saturday includes a crucial contest in the SEC East between undefeated teams. The 2-time defending National Champion Georgia Bulldogs are ranked #1 in the nation and they will be put to the test at home by the 20th-ranked Kentucky Wildcats. Both squads are 5-0 heading into this showdown.
Here is my Same Game Parlay for the festivities, which will be televised starting at 7:00 pm ET on ESPN. Also be sure to check out our full Kentucky vs Georgia predictions.
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 some of the plan here, as Kentucky'running back Ray Davis having a productive night at the office would obviously work well with a Wildcats cover. At the same time, plays that aren't correlated drive up the overall payout of the parlay. That is the case with backing Georgia tight end Brock Bowers to score a touchdown. But even if that happens, there is no reason why the 'Cats can't be competitive. Let's break down each of the 3 legs.'
Kentucky +14.5 (-110)
It may be time to start fading the Bulldogs before the oddsmakers adjust to the fact the reigning champs'looks considerably different this year – or before they start looking like the Bulldogs of 2021 and 2023…whichever happens first. That's not to say that Georgia is going to lose Saturday's game outright, but I don't see the home team covering more than 2 touchdowns in this matchup with a solid Kentucky opponent.'The Wildcats have surprised'some people this season after losing star quarterback Will Levis to the NFL. Davis is picking up the slack offensively and the UK defense has allowed an average of just 15.5 points per game. With Davis able to control the clock and the Wildcats' defense playing well, I think they can keep this contest relative low-scoring thanks in part to a Georgia offense that is not quite a well-oiled machine at this point in the season. A struggle in the trenche s should help the visitors keep this within the 14.5 number.'
