Why Kentucky can cover
Kentucky is coming off a rough performance at Florida, but the Wildcats have put together some impressive showings this season. They took then-No. 1 Georgia down to the wire in September, easily covering the spread as 21.5-point underdogs in a 13-12 final. Kentucky followed that up with a 41-6 win over Ohio and a massive upset win at then-No. 6 Ole Miss as a 17.5-point underdog.
Head coach Mark Stoops has led Kentucky to eight straight bowl games, and he desperately needs a win in this game to stay on track for another postseason game. Barion Brown was a bright spot in the loss to the Gators last week, scoring on a 99-yard kickoff return touchdown for the fifth of his career, setting a new SEC record. He is averaging 27.9 yards per kickoff return, while Kentucky's defense ranks 12th nationally in total defense. See which team to pick here.
Why Auburn can cover
Auburn is in desperation mode as well after dropping its first four SEC games, but it has been knocking on the door in recent weeks. The Tigers lost to then-No. 21 Oklahoma by six points at the end of September before covering the 21-point spread in a loss to Georgia. They came up just short again last week, giving up a late touchdown drive to then-No. 19 Missouri in a 21-17 final.
Senior quarterback Payton Thorne completed 17 of 29 passes for 176 yards and a touchdown, while senior running back Jarquez Hunter had 57 rushing yards. Hunter has been Auburn's best player offensively, racking up 585 rushing yards and three touchdowns, averaging 6.0 yards per carry. The Tigers have won five of the last six meetings between these teams, and they have been trending toward their first SEC victory of the season. See which team to pick here.
