A trip to Jordan Hare Stadium, where everyone will be picking Auburn, is a perfect opportunity for Kentucky to show the world they’re a force to be reckoned with.

The Tigers lost defensive tackle Derrick Brown and have questions at running back. Kentucky has one of the top offensive lines in the country and a stingy defensive front that will force Bo Nix to throw.

Kentucky has enough talent on both sides of the ball to pull off this upset and earn some national attention.

Final Score: Kentucky 21, Auburn 20 (4-1, 2-1)

Eastern Illinois is the alma mater of Tony Romo and Jimmy Garoppolo, but the program has fallen on hard times of late as they’ve won just four games the last two seasons.

At home, the Wildcats should roll to an easy victory.

Final Score: Kentucky 45, Eastern Illinois 6 (5-1, 2-1)
