The sophomore gunslinger is packing a lot of heat this season, throwing 10 touchdowns and racking up 1,541 yards.<\/p>\n<p>He is complimented by a UK running game led by the team\u2019s leading rusher Jojo Kemp, who is averaging 5.3 yards per carry with four touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=66501&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>Defensively, the Wildcats are allowing just 18.7 points per game and 343.5 yards with 11 interceptions, five fumble recoveries and 17 sacks.<\/p>\n<h3>LSU<\/h3>\n<p>The Tigers (5-2) squeaked by at Florida last week to pick up their fifth win of the season.<\/p>\n<p>LSU is in a rebuilding year, but you\u2019d never know it considering how they are playing. Still, two losses for a storied LSU football franchise is unthinkable and disappointing.<\/p>\n<p>But let\u2019s don\u2019t lose sight of the fact that the LSU offense is still averaging 34.9 points per game and 414.1 yards even in a down year.<\/p>\n<p>They are led by quarterback Anthony Jennings, who despite only completing 50 percent of his passes, still has six touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>A solid rushing attack has helped the Tigers, as Leonard Fournette paces the LSU rushing attack with six touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63739&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>The defense is making the biggest impact of all, allowing a meager 19 points and 333.3 yards per game with eight interceptions, 11 sacks and eight fumble recoveries.<\/p>\n<h3>College football betting trends<\/h3>\n<p>* UK are 5-15 ATS in their last 20 road games.<br \/>\n* UK are 5-14 ATS in their last 19 conference games.<br \/>\n* Over is 14-6 in LSU last 20 games on grass.<\/p>\n<h3>Week 8 NCAA Football Spread Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>All of the pressure is on UK here, as this would another huge win.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Tigers have a roster loaded with talent, but little experience in game of this importance.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m going out on a limb here, and predicting what might be the biggest upset in college football this season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4* FREE NCAAF Score Prediction: Kentucky 27, LSU 24<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Check out our <a title=\"College Football Week 8 Odds\" href=\"https:\/\/capperspicks.sportsdirectinc.com\/odds\/ncaaf.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\">Updated College Football Week 8 Odds<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63706&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week 8: Wildcats vs Tigers\u00a0Picks College Football Week 8 betting action sees the Kentucky Wildcats taking on the LSU Tigers on Oct.18, at Tiger Stadium.
