Week 6 College Football Picks and Best Bets
By Evan Ertel
No. 20 Kentucky @ No. 1 Georgia (-14.5) (O/U 48)
Evan Ertel: Did a little bit of what they call “research” on this one, and there is a terrifying amount of public money on the Wildcats. This is another game on the slate that I think would at least be a three-point swing if the favorite was not playing at home. Georgia -14.5
Justin Strawn: I’m very close to declaring Georgia “Fool’s Gold” as the number one team. They really haven’t been impressive in any of their wins. They’ll continue that trend against Kentucky. Win but not look great. Kentucky +14.5
Ethan Lee: Kentucky keeps getting better and better. I really wasn’t all that impressed with the Wildcats as the season got started, but they’ve improved pretty much each and every week. Mark Stoops is a good coach and it sure seems plausible that this game could introduce some chaos into the national picture. I don’t know if UK will pull it off, but I think this game will be close into the fourth quarter. Kentucky +14.5
John King: UGA has looked beatable at times this year, but they did last year too, and never had a problem. The game was 16-6 vs. Kentucky in 2022. I don’t think the ugly SEC Bulldogs will overlook UK again. I expect Georgia to set the tone early and keep pouring on. Georgia-14.5
Andrew Miller: you know what UGA does? Win games. You know what UGA doesn’t do? Cover the spread. They’re 0-3-1 ATS this year. We keep saying they’ll wake up. But what if this is just them? UGA wins and probably controls the game. But the Cats cover. Kentucky +14.5
Ryan Strickland: This game is going to be a rock fight. Kentucky is mean and in your face. They do not look scared of anyone. Georgia has not been the Georgia of the past two years at all this season. I think this is just too many points for Georgia by how they’ve played. They will win but it will be similar to last week’s result against Auburn. Kentucky +14.5
