The battle of Kentucky will be this Saturday at 7:30pm on ESPN2. Most people at the start of the season thought this would be a Kentucky win, but Louisville has played pretty well as of late all be it against Syracuse and Duke. They have had some tough losses by 3 to Wake Forest and 6 to Clemson. The Cats have won the last two as well against sub par teams as well in Vandy and New Mexico St. Go Cats!!

Louisville opens as 2 pt favorite in Vegas.

Game will be closer than I expected it would be at the beginning of season. UK has struggled with their pass defense, so if UofL can take advantage of that they can beat UK. If UK can hold onto the ball offensively and not give UofL extra possessions they'll be in good shape. I'll take UK 31-20. L's down!

I think this will be close game and Cards will be playing with revenge on the mind after last season's loss. Kentucky hasn't played as well on the road. I'll go with the Cards by 3. L's up!

Coming from a UK fan, I think it will depend on which Kentucky team shows up. If it's the Kentucky team that started the season 6-0 and last week's team then I think they will win. By at least 2 TD's. If it's the Kentucky team that showed up against Georgia and Miss State, then they will get ran out of Louisville.

 

Hopefully a fun, nail biting, injury free game. 

The ACC is really weak.  While Louisville may be playing better they are not playing anyone near the level of Tennessee or Mississippi State.

I'm surprised by this.  I am thinking UK by 7 to 10.

Sagarin computer ratings show it Louisville by 1 so probably why.

If UL can win this one they can completely swing their momentum.  This is the game Satterfield was hired for.

Just remembered they didn't play last year because of Covid but Cats won big in 2019.

If Cards win, is this his last game in Louisville?

Cards 34

Cats 27

Now that’s a great question.  I’ll differ to @TheDeuce.  I think he’s underperformed and tried to find a way out already.  If he wins, is he all in on pushing UL forward, or is he looking around again?  He hasn’t done much to get a VT’s attention has he?

Why would a win over UK be enough to propel Satterfield (or anybody) into a new job?

Updated Sagarin ratings. Shows two pretty even teams.
