Last Tough Test for Wildcats
This is the last big test of the regular season for Kentucky. Mississippi State might be one of the few teams that can give the Wildcats a loss because they are at home. Kentucky is winning with a dominating defense that is ranked in the Top 10 in the country. And here is a little secret that we will reveal before making our pick on this game. The Wildcats are going under the total on a regular basis on the road.
How Good are the Bulldogs?
Mississippi State has a very nice straight up record and they have been ranked in the Top 25 for much of the season. The question is just how good is Mississippi State? They are not very good on defense and their offense, while good is not even in the Top 50 in the country. It could be that Mississippi State is overrated.
