We should see a lot of points in this one. Both offenses can run the heck out of the ball. It will come down to which defense you can trust to get a stop. Over the last three weeks of the season, the Yellow Jackets played some of their best defense. Lay the points.

My simulations show the upstart Wildcats winning this game outright by at least six points, providing a huge overlay on a 3.5-point underdog. Kentucky held its own for the most part against stiff SEC competition, and ended its season with a massive 41-38 upset of rival Louisville. The Jackets won four of their last five, but their leaky defense remains a problem against potent teams. Ride the underdog in the Taxslayer Bowl.
