The set-up: Mississippi State has a new coach in Mike Leach and they looked great in their season opening win over LSU. But they took a major step back in last week's 21-14 upset loss to Arkansas. The Bulldogs lost Kylin Hill as well last week to injury, last year he led the SEC in rushing. This type of inconsistent effort isn't going to get the job done on the road, especially vs. this incredibly competitive Wildcats team.

The pick: Kentucky lost by 16 to Auburn, but the Tigers are ranked No. 8 nationally right now. Then last week they unfortunately fell 42-41 to Ole Miss in OT, giving up a late TD to send it into extra time. The Wildcats have a balanced offense and I think their defense will have a big day here vs. this struggling Bulldogs' offense. Mississippi State played sloppy last weekend and I think it's going to struggle again to keep up with this hungry home side as well on Saturday. The play is Kentucky on the money-line!

This is a 10* MONEY-LINE GAME OF THE YEAR on Kentucky.
