I don't have a high level of trust in either one of these teams at the moment when it comes to covering spreads, but everything I know about them suggests to me this will be a lower-scoring game than the total suggests. Kentucky's offense has not been explosive overall, and has struggled to run the ball behind a bad offensive line. Ole Miss has been much more dangerous on the ground than in the air, which is a reversal of recent seasons. It won't be a rock fight, but I don't see the winner getting past 31 points.
Each team enters this game undefeated, but the Wildcats have been in this situation once already this season. Kentucky won at Florida in week two in the most significant test either team has had. I expect this game not be quite as high scoring as each of these offenses has shown this season because they are facing good defenses. I also expect it will not be decided until late. The Wildcats should cover and might even win.
