From the booth

The model favored UK to win, and the call landed.

Kentucky's absolutely favored here at 91 percent to win, and the model likes what it sees with the Wildcats getting nearly 20 and a half points from Vegas. The betting market agrees, the home-field advantage stacks in their favor, and South Alabama's coming in with some offensive limitations on the road. This one shapes up as a pretty decisive matchup on paper, folks.
