October 28 — Tennessee @ Kentucky

Kentucky has improved tremendously under head coach Mark Stoops.

The Wildcats went to the Taxslayer bowl last season, finishing the season with a 7-6 record.

For Kentucky, that’s considered a hugely successful season.

The offense should be better next season in Lexington, but the defense will still be a big question mark.

Kentucky has been downright awful on defense in recent years, and there’s nothing to suggest that will change in 2017.

Prediction: Tennessee wins (5-3)
