The Cats are headed back to Florida on New Years day to take on the Iowa Hawkeys in the Vrbo Citrus Bowl in Orlando, FL. I think this is a game the Cats can and should win. The kickoff is scheduled at 1:00pm on ABC. Go Cats!!

I like this game!

Iowa simply cannot matchup with UK’s athleticism.  Cats by 16.

2 teams that started on fire and faltered down the stretch.   At least UK goes in with the momentum of have thrashed Louisville.  Cats win this one.

Iowa's QBs looked terrible against Michigan.  I look for UKs defense to play well against them and UK to win.

Iowa cannot be judged on the Michigan game. Defense above par vs most and strong running game vs most.

Iowa 27

Cats 17

I see the Cats are a 2.5 favorite. 

21-17 UK.

Cats by 14!

Iowa’s RB has opted out, Cats might run away with this one.

Is he set to be drafted or is it something else?

Did that affect the betting line?

Slightly, looks like UK is up to -3 on some sites.
