[soliloquy id=&#8221;82219&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Offensively, Alabama is shredding the opposition, averaging 37 points and 405 yards per game.<\/p>\n<p>Led by quarterback A.J. McCaron, who has completed 71 percent of his passes with 10 touchdowns and just three interceptions, the Wildcats defense will have its hands full on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Defensively, Kentucky allows 26 points and 391 yards per game.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Wildcats offense has been averaging 23 points and 388 yards per game, behind a solid effort from quarterback Jalen Whitlow, who has completed 68 percent of his passes with three touchdowns and a single interception. He is also one of the biggest contributors to the Kentucky running game, averaging around five yards per carry with three touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>Whitlow rushed for 69 yards and \u00a0threw for 178 yards, but it wasn&#8217;t enough as the Wildcats suffered a Week 6 loss against South Carolina in their last game, falling 35-28 at Williams-Brice Stadium.<\/p>\n<h3>Matt&#8217;s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>While the point spread in this one is a big, Kentucky showed they could stand up against a very good South Carolina team last week in a game they were figured to get run over.<\/p>\n<p>However, they will have to play a perfect game to beat Alabama, in a game, if they win, would be the biggest win in the history of the Kentucky football program.<\/p>\n<p>Not likely.<\/p>\n<p><b>Alabama 41, Kentucky 10<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alabama vs Kentucky NCAA Football Spread\/Handicapping A blowout is in the making when the Kentucky Wildcats and the Alabama Crimson Tide face off on Saturday in Lexington in a SEC college football battle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":978,"featured_media":66621,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[67,60069,60070,616],"class_list":["post-67129","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ncaa-football","tag-alabama","tag-alabama-vs-kentucky","tag-crimson-tide-vs-wildcats","tag-kentucky"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67129","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/978"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67129"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67129\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":67155,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67129\/revisions\/67155"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/66621"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=67129"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=67129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
