No. 13 Tennessee and No. 6 Kentucky square off in a crucial SEC rivalry game this Saturday night in Knoxville, in a game with playoff implications on the line. Both teams are looking to add a Top 15 win to their resumes with the final quarter of the season quickly approaching.

As of Friday afternoon, Tennessee is a 5.5-point favorite over Kentucky. The Wildcats have been one of college football’s toughest and most resilient teams this season, but the home crowd at Neyland Stadium certainly plays an impact. ESPN’s Football Power Index gives Tennessee a 66.7% chance to win the game.

For Tennessee, it’s going to be about not beating itself. The Wildcats are one of the most disciplined teams in the nation, and it’s evident when you look at UK’s turnover margin and penalty count. If Tennessee is going to come out of this one victorius, the Vols need to play clean, tough football and not get into the mud with turnovers and penalties. Kentucky will take advantage.
