Kentucky vs. Georgia: Latest Spread Info, BCS Impact and Predictions
The Georgia Bulldogs have a chance to wrap up the SEC East when they host the Kentucky Wildcats on Saturday.
While Georgia did win in 2010, Kentucky won the last meeting in Georgia 34-27 in 2009.
Georgia enters the game at 8-2, 6-1 in SEC play. That is good enough for first place in the SEC East despite losing to South Carolina, who is in second place. Kentucky is 4-6, 1-5 in conference play. Only Tennessee is below them in the SEC East.

Spread
Georgia (-31), according to Sportsbook.
The closest comparisons to Georgia on Kentucky's schedule have been Florida, LSU and South Carolina. They lost by more than 31 points in two of those games and lost by 28 in the other.
Between the Hedges, I don't see the Bulldogs being challenged. Covering will be close, but I like them to pull it out.
Over/Under
49, according to Sportsbook.
I like the over here. I expect Georgia to get pretty close on their own. Whatever they lack, Kentucky will pick up that slack.
Key Injuries
Kentucky RB Josh Clemons and WR Daryl Collins are out.
Kentucky S Martavius Neloms and LB Ridge Wilson are doubtful.
Kentucky RB Raymond Sanders, WR E.J. Fields, DT Donte Rumph, CB Anthony Mosely, LB Ronnie Sneed, and DT Mister Cobble are questionable.
Kentucky QB Morgan Newton, S Winston Guy Jr. and CB Cartier Rice are probable.
Georgia S Jakar Hamilton, T Kolton Houston, WR Rantavious Wooten, T Trinton Sturdivant, G Dallas Lee and RB Richard Samuel are out.
Georgia CB Jordan Love is doubtful.
Georgia SE Israel Troupe and T Austin Long are questionable.
Georgia RB Isaiah Crowell and NT Kwame Geathers are probable.
BCS/Top 25 Poll Implications
Kentucky actually has a chance of earning bowl eligibility, although they need to run the table to do so. From an SEC Championship or BCS perspective, they are nothing but spoilers.
If Georgia wins, they wrap up the SEC East. This is their last conference game, and South Carolina's conference schedule is over. If Georgia loses, then South Carolina wins the division. Both teams would be 7-1 in conference play, and the Gamecocks beat the Bulldogs.
Keys to Kentucky Win
Underdogs on the road must run the ball well. So, CoShik Williams will be the Wildcats most important player. He will need to keep the Kentucky offense on the field.
Keys to Georgia Win
If they don't come into this game complacent, this game is not going to be a problem. Aaron Murray has a good group of receivers to throw to, and Crowell (assuming he plays) is a great back.
Prediction: Georgia 44, Kentucky 7
Georgia is just a much better team. You may not like them to cover in this game, but there is very little doubt that they will win and win convincingly.
