Pick Analysis. Knoxville (Tenn.). Tennessee Volunteers. 9. player. Scouting Report. 839. Nov. 7

The Wildcats will look for their first win at Neyland Stadium since 1984 and could have their SEC East title when they meet up with the Vols in November.

It’s hard to pick the Wildcats here given they only have two wins over Tennessee in their last 34 matchups.

Thus, look for another Tennessee victory and more heartbreak in the Bluegrass with dreams at a first SEC East title in program history over.

Final Score: Tennessee 23, Kentucky 17 (7-2, 4-2)

Scouting Report. Nov. 14. player. 893. Pick Analysis. Lexington (Ky.). Mississippi State Bulldogs. 10

Kentucky’s yearly battle with Mississippi State will look a little different in 2020 as former Wildcats offensive coordinator Mike Leach will be leading the Bulldogs into Lexington.

It’s likely that Mississippi State will be going through a bit of a rebuilding year as they change their offense and look to replace several seniors for a year ago.

The Bulldogs have not won in Lexington since Dak Prescott was at quarterback and that streak will likely remain intact as the Wildcats should have enough to earn a home win.

Final Score: Kentucky 27, Mississippi State 21 (8-2, 5-2)
