Kentucky vs. Texas touchdown pick
Matthew Golden anytime touchdown scorer (+155) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Texas has one of the most high-octane passing attacks in the country. Plenty of players will be heavily juiced to get in on the action in a game when the Longhorns are favored by nearly three touchdowns. Luckily, there is still a diamond in the rough.
The notoriety of the name Isaiah Bond means he’s the hosts’ most popular anytime touchdown scoring receiver. Meanwhile, Golden is flying under the radar at +155 odds on FanDuel.
Golden leads all of Texas’ skill players in scores this year as he’s found the end zone eight times across 10 games. Five of those touchdowns have come in the last three games.
FanDuel offers bettors a chance to ride the hot hand at plus money; take advantage of the sportsbook’s generosity.
Best odds: +155 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 39.22%
Best Kentucky vs. Texas prop bets
Quinn Ewers Under 288.5 passing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ewers has faced a few formidable pass defenses this season, notably No. 36 Georgia and No. 55 Oklahoma. His recent performances against Vanderbilt (288 yards, three touchdowns) and Florida (333 yards, five touchdowns) have been encouraging, but it’s hard to forget what he did against the aforementioned duo.
Ewers combined for 410 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions against the Bulldogs and Sooners. He went Under 215 yards in each outing, but why does any of this matter now?
Kentucky is the best pass defense the junior quarterback has seen yet. The Wildcats rank eight places above Georgia as they surrender shy of 190 yards per game through the air.
Nico Iamaleava is the only opposing signal caller to throw for 290-plus yards on Brad White’s defense all season.
Ewers, on the other hand, has thrown for 290 yards or more just once in his last eight starts. Given Ewers’ history against solid secondaries and Kentucky’s track record, the Under is a safe play.
Our Rob Paul is also fading a different quarterback in this matchup as part of his college football Week 13 expert picks.
Best odds: -114 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 53.27%
Demie Sumo-Karngbaye 40+ rushing yards (+100) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Kentucky running back Demie Sumo-Karngbaye is nothing if not consistent.
The senior has rushed for 38 or more yards in every game this season, regardless of his rushing attempt numbers. He’s failed to go Over 40 yards only twice (at Florida, at Tennessee), so why is DraftKings listing him at even money to reach this mark against Texas?
The Longhorns boast the No. 1 total defense in the NCAA this season. They’re the only team giving up less than 250 total yards per game, but if they have one weakness, it’s their rush defense.
Texas has allowed an opponent to rush for 40-plus yards in 80% of its matchups, and it gives up nearly 115 yards per game on the ground.
Kentucky is going to try and turn this duel into a dogfight. As such, the Wildcats won’t stray from their usual game plan. This includes making Sumo-Karngbaye a focal point on offense, which has produced results throughout most of the campaign.
Best odds: +100 via DraftKings | Implied probability: 50%
