Georgia vs. Kentucky prediction, odds: Where the experts see an edge

Georgia returns to action at home looking to get ahead in SEC play against unranked Kentucky as college football’s Week 6 action kicks off this Saturday.

Down to 1-1 in conference play, the Bulldogs dropped a three-point decision at home against Alabama in a critical test last weekend, and head coach Kirby Smart fell to 1-7 against the Crimson Tide in an otherwise-stellar career at his alma mater.

Kentucky dipped to 0-2 in conference after losses to Ole Miss and South Carolina and ranks among college football’s worst teams when throwing the ball and looking ahead to a tough five-game stretch that includes three games against ranked opponents.

Where are the experts putting their money in this matchup between the Bulldogs and the Wildcats this weekend?
