However, UK's offense has shown it can present a more balanced attack this season. Maggie Davis, BBN Tonight: There's no easy way to slow Malik Cunningham down, especially considering how Kentucky's defense has struggled in the latter half of the year. But that’s fun, right? Kentucky 42, Louisville 38. Both offenses are humming, and both defenses kinda stink. I’ll only be shocked if this isn’t a shootout. Kyle Tucker, The Athletic: I won’t be surprised if that score is reversed. Governor's Cup: Could the SEC's expansion pose a threat to storied Kentucky-Louisville football rivalry? Other media Governor's Cup predictions Louisville can very well win this game and if the score gets in the 30’s or higher I like the chances for them, but I’ll go with my gut feeling and say UK’s guys up front will be the difference.
Louisville 31, Kentucky 28.ĭominique Yates, Multimedia sports analyst: With the way both teams have been playing lately, I’m not as confident in this pick as before.
Kentucky 34, Louisville 31Ĭameron Teague Robinson, Louisville football beat reporter: Both defenses will force turnovers, but I think Malik Cunningham does just enough for Louisville and gets his signature win after a stellar season.

Tim Sullivan, Sports projects: Both teams have dynamic playmakers. This will be a close one in Cardinal Stadium, but my money is on Louisville's defense and Malik Cunningham's legs. Reina Kempt, Sports director: Kentucky has been leveling out since its 6-0 start while Louisville showed mounds of potential and momentum over the past two games. Now, the defensive struggles and turnovers are too concerning to pick the Wildcats. Jon Hale, Kentucky beat reporter: A month ago I thought Kentucky would win easily. UK rushed for 517 yards in that game it’ll be a tad more balanced this time in a narrow win. Hayes Gardner, Sports enterprise reporter: Malik Cunningham will look superhuman compared to the guy who started for the Cardinals in the 2019 rivalry loss, but his strong performance won’t be quite enough for U of L. The guess here is that Malik Cunningham is enough to put the UK D on its heels and get the Cards a win. But the Wildcats are hemorrhaging momentum and the Cardinals are collecting it. And maybe Kentucky still is the superior team as it seemed for much of the season.
