Kentucky vs. Arkansas: Analysis, betting trends, expert picks & prediction

Saturday evening at Kroger Field will be filled with emotion.

As the Kentucky Wildcats return from their two weeks off, the university will honor late, great Kentucky quarterback Jared Lorenzen who passed away this summer. After the ceremony, the Wildcats will host the Arkansas Razorbacks for a Saturday night showdown.

Analysis

With Kentucky currently a seven-point home favorite, ESPN’s Football Power Index is giving the Wildcats an 80.2% chance of victory. Oddsmakers expect the offense to click in this matchup, too, setting the over/under at 53.5 points.

Kentucky quarterback Sawyer Smith is expected to return from being banged up over his last couple of starts, but a sprinkle of Lynn Bowden at quarterback shouldn’t come as a surprise.
