Kentucky vs. Tennessee Prediction

Tennessee's defense is the unit to look out for here. They rank 10th in EPA/pass allowed and 9th in late-down success rate allowed. It is going to be a tall task for Kentucky to move the ball down the field on this defense.

Tennessee has a strong rush offense, which is where Kentucky's biggest weakness is on defense. Tennessee ranks 5th in EPA/rush, whereas Kentucky ranks 64th in EPA/rush allowed. Tennessee should get it done on the ground and open up the passing game, all while Tennessee's defense shuts down the Kentucky offense.

Kentucky vs. Tennessee Prediction: Tennessee Volunteers -6.5 (-110)
