The Kentucky Wildcats will travel to Oxford to take on the Ole Miss Rebels in a Saturday afternoon SEC college football matchup. With that said, it’s a good time to check out our college football odds series, which includes a Kentucky-Ole Miss prediction and pick, laid out below.

Kentucky has opened their season 4-0, including a 26-16 upset victory over Florida in Gainesville in week two. Kentucky is now ranked seventh in the nation, and seems to be primed to challenge for a playoff spot.
