Will Kentucky's Last Three Games Be a Springboard to a Better Bowl?

After an off week for the Cats after the Vandy game, the Cats travel to Knoxville to take on their struggling rival Tennessee.

Tennessee has seemed to fall off the earth this season, going 3-6 so far, and just recently head coach Phillip Fulmer resigned for next season after close to 30 years in the UT football program.

Kentucky hasn't beaten the Vols in over 20 years. Some Kentucky fans think that if the Cats do not beat this pretty bad Tennessee team, then UK will never beat UT in football. That is what some UK fans are thinking.

This is the Cats' best chance to finally exorcise the UT football demon that has haunted us forever, and I think the Cats FINALLY beat the Vols of Tennessee in football.

My prediction: UK 24, UT 20

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I see Kentucky finishing out the regular season winning two more games and finishing up with a regular season of 8-4.

Even though I predict the Cats to go 2-1 to finish the season in our final three games, the Cats could very well go 1-2, or even 0-3, if they take any team remaining lightly.

Kentucky shouldn't take Vandy lightly, even though they have been on a recent skid. Also, the Cats cannot take the struggling Vols lightly. Any team that beats you 20+ years in a row you cannot take lightly, no matter what kind of team they have.

Any win that the Cats get now is only putting them in place for a better and better bowl game. Some bowl games being mentioned for the Cats are the Liberty Bowl, the Music City Bowl (of course), and possibly the PapaJohns.com Bowl.

Also, for what it's worth, the Outback Bowl and the Chick-fil-A Bowl will be at Commonwealth Stadium scouting the UGA vs. UK game. Both teams are candidates.

Kentucky is going bowling for the third straight year!
