UGA is a big-21.5 favorite against UK Saturday, with the line having come down two points over the course of this week.
Excluding the last meeting between these two teams, which was a close one, Georgia had beaten Kentucky by more than 20 points in three previous head-to-heads going back to 2013.
"There's definitely still plenty of motivation," Bulldog running back Nick Chubb said of last week’s first loss this season, and a bad one at that. "We just need to keep everyone's heads up and keep the guys going. We need to keep practicing hard."
Kentucky is certainly no slouch here as the Wildcats are still alive for a 10-win season and a Jan. 1 bowl if they can win their final two games, and after last week's rout of Vanderbilt last week, is feeling pretty good about its chances.
"I was pleased with the way our team responded from a tough loss the week before," Kentucky coach Mark Stoops said. "As I mentioned last week, it does not surprise me with the character of this football team, and again, hopefully we can continue to build on this and play our best football here down the home stretch."
Georgia has demonstrated that they can bounce back from previous underperformances as the Bulldogs are 5-1 Against The Spread in their last 6 games following a straight up loss.
The Wildcats are 1-5 Against The Spread in their last 6 games overall.
