Caroline Fenton, Jason Fitz & Adam Breneman react to the biggest games from Week 3 including Georgia narrowly scraping by Kentucky to avoid an upset and Alabama running circles around Wisconsin. Plus, is there any shred of hope left for Florida State after a 0-3 start?

The trio share three things they learned this weekend, from Notre Dame’s playoff chances after a bounce back win and Texas’ dominance with or without their starting QB.

Finally, Caroline, Fitz & Adam buy and sell CFB stock including stock up on Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders and a surprising stock down on LSU, even after their comeback win against South Carolina.

Week 3 doesn’t look very appetizing on the surface, but you never know when there’s going to be a seismic upset.

Saturday started off a bit chalky with No. 4 Alabama blowing out Wisconsin after Badgers QB Tyler Van Dyke suffered an injury on the opening drive. No. 6 Missouri continued that with a nervy come-from-behind home win over No. 24 Boston College.

No. 16 LSU also needed to rally on the road against South Carolina after falling behind 17-0 early. The Tigers did just that, earning a crucial SEC win as the Gamecocks’ game-tying kick sailed wide as time expired.

Perhaps the most notable result of the day was yet another disastrous Florida State loss.

Follow the rest of the day’s action below.

The Georgia Bulldogs (2-0, 0-0 SEC) travel to meet the Kentucky Wildcats (1-1, 0-1) Saturday at Kroger Field in Lexington, Ky. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (ABC/ESPN+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds around the Georgia vs. Kentucky odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The top-ranked Bulldogs play their 1st true road game of the season in the SEC opener. Georgia roughed up a ranked Clemson team 34-3 on a neutral field in Atlanta on Aug. 31, easily covering a 10.5-point spread as the Under (50) cashed. Then, the Dawgs thrashed FCS Tennessee Tech 48-3 last Saturday, failing to cover as a 54.5-point favorite as the Under (68.5) again hit.

The Wildcats opened with a 31-0 win over Southern Miss to cover as 24.5-point number in the opener as the Under (49) cashed, but it was annihilated at home in the conference opener by South Carolina, falling 31-6 as a 9.5-point favorite as the Under (40.5) again cashed.

Georgia has won 14 straight in this series dating back to Nov. 21, 2009, and Kentucky has won at home against the Dawgs since Nov. 4, 2006. QB Brock Vandagriff, who played for UGA on the 2021 and 2022 national title teams, was 3 1/2 the last time the Wildcats beat the Dawgs at home.

Georgia at Kentucky picks and predictions

Prediction

Georgia 38, Kentucky 17

Moneyline

Georgia (-3000) will cost you 30 times your potential return, which means you’d need to risk $100 for every $3.33 won. It shouldn’t need to be said, but there is no value in betting such heavy favorites, no matter how certain a victory looks to be.

PASS.

Against the spread

Although KENTUCKY +23.5 (-115) was hot garbage last week, and it struggled to move the ball, this is a rivalry game, and teams tend to bring their best when facing the best.

Kentucky suffered just a 16-6 loss against Georgia in the most recent game in Lexington Nov. 19, 2022, and while the Wildcats haven’t been the Dawgs in a while, they are 4-1 ATS in the past 5 meetings.

The concern is that Georgia -23.5 (-105) is nasty on defense, so UK needs to be much better than it was last week when South Carolina moved the ball well on the ground against it.

Over/Under

OVER 44.5 (-110) might be the best play on the board.

While Georgia’s defense is strong, as usual, it wouldn’t be surprising in the least to see the Dawgs do the heavy lifting and get this one across the finish line with little help from the Wildcats.

While the Under is 2-0 for both teams to date, this is an awfully low number.
