Final Florida-Kentucky Prediction & Pick

While the Kentucky defense is not great, they are more efficient than the Florida one. They give up a lot of points, but much of that is due to a fast-paced offense. The big issue for Florida is slowing down this Kentucky offense. They do not have the players to cover all five of their scoring options. This will be a high-scoring game that should be entertaining, but Kentucky will come away with the win.
