Who do you think will win this Saturday's matchup in Columbia,Missouri between 5-3 Kentucky and 4-4 Missouri. This could be a very important game for Kentucky trying to save their season from falling off a cliff. I think Missouri comes away with a close 27-24 win over Kentucky continuing Kentucky's late season collapse.

Well, SC beat Kentucky and Missouri beat SC, so I’ll take Missouri.
But seriously, Missouri has looked better the last few weeks and Kentucky will likely not recover from the beat down we handed them.

KY rebounds winning by 7-10 points.

I think Kentucky wins. Missouri beat a really bad South Carolina team that was riding high from being over ranked. I could kinda see Mizzou being in a similar circumstance this week. Riding high from beating a ranked opponent, seeing a beat down Kentucky squad, and thinking they have it made.

Idk, but I dont see Stoops team folding against the bottom dwellers

This game is interesting to me. Is KY going to rally the troops for a win or quit and go home because their preseason goals are gone. If Missouri gets up early, KY may quit. If KY gets up early, Missouri is not a great offensive team and may not be able to come back. Just one of those games I don’t care who wins so will be fun to just sit back and have on the 2nd TV.

I agree with the Kentucky part, but Missouri has shown some mettle in a few games this year. They were down 14 points to Aurburn and 10 points to Florida, and, despite losing both games, they kept fighting. Also, they came out strong against Georgia and South Carolina.
Kentucky has not been a dominant team in most games. Youngstown State held them scoreless in the first quarter, they struggled against N. Illinois, beat Florida by 10 points with fourth-quarter pick six, and didn't pull away from Mississippi State until late in the fourth quarter.
I think we showed Missouri how to beat Kentucky- stop the run early and get an early lead. Kentucky will then become one dimensional, forcing Levis to throw more. Kentucky's O-line cannot protect him and he can be an erratic passer that will also attempt to force throws. It is part of his personality. For example, the coaches tried to impress upon him to not risk an injury during our game, but he was taking on tackles in the second quarter. In other words, he is impulsive and that is his weakness.

It's a hard game to pick for sure. You're right about Mizzou's mettle. At times, their front 7 has played pretty well.

I’m hoping for UK. Hate saying it, but it helps our SOS going forward showing that we waxed a top 20-25 team that maintains a ranking.
If we beat Georgia on Saturday, with a likely rematch with LSU or Alabama in the SEC CG ... we're lapping Ohio State, Michigan, Clemson and TCU on strength of schedule.

True, with a win Saturday we can pretty much punch our CFP ticket as long as we don’t stumble in the last 3. I think it’s a very tall task and I won’t be surprised of the outcome win or lose. I think it would be good for UK to win bc they have the best chance of being ranked over Mizzou.
