The days of Vanderbilt and Kentucky’s matchups determining who avoids finishing in the SEC East basement are over.

Kentucky has dominated the Commodores the last four years and have sworn near the top of the division.

With Vanderbilt likely turning to former Kentucky third-stringer and transfer Danny Clark, it’s hard to take the Commodores all too seriously. The Wildcats rushing attack and stingy defense should be enough to earn another victory.

Final Score: Kentucky 42, Vanderbilt 14 (6-1, 3-1)

Kentucky has won five straight over Missouri dating back to 2015. Last season UK roared to a 29-7 home victory despite Missouri coming to town heavy favorites.

With Missouri expected to have a young offense, Kentucky’s experienced defense should hold them in check.

Expect another UK victory here to put Kentucky at 7-1 for the second time in three years.

Final Score: Kentucky 20, Missouri 13 (7-1, 4-1)
