Kentucky vs Texas Odds, Prediction & Picks 11/23/2024

The Kentucky Wildcats will take on the Texas Longhorns on November 23, 2024, at 3:30 pm EST. DraftKings Sportsbook has set the Texas Longhorns as 20.5 point favorites, with the total for the game at 47.0. Kentucky will be looking to defy the odds and secure a victory, while Texas aims to showcase their dominance and continue their winning streak. Here, we break down Kentucky vs Texas and make our pick for this huge contest in the SEC.

Can Kentucky Snap Conference Losing Streak?

The Kentucky Wildcats are 4-6 overall and 1-6 in the SEC going into their conference finale against Texas on Saturday. Kentucky has dropped games against four straight conference opponents, though they did beat FCS Murray State in their last outing by a score of 48-6. Against conference opponents, the Wildcats offense has been stuck in the mud, failing to score over 20 points in any of their last four league games. If that doesn't change against Texas this week, the Wildcats could go into their rivalry game against Louisville out of bowl contention.

Texas Looks to Stay In Top-Three

The Texas Longhorns have won three games in a row after suffering their lone loss of the season to the Georgia Bulldogs back in mid-October. Texas is ranked third in the country coming into this game, which is significant in that they would get a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff if they managed to hold onto that position while winning the SEC championship. Here, the Longhorns will look to hold a fourth straight opponent under 25 points and will look to take advantage of the struggles of the Texas offense.

Kentucky vs Texas Pick & Prediction

Our top pick for Kentucky vs Texas is for the Texas Longhorns to cover the spread as a heavy home favorite. Kentucky's offense has proven that it is just not built to hang with a team like the Longhorns in SEC play this season. Look for Texas to get another win that will move them one step closer to the SEC title game, setting up a titanic showdown with Texas A&M the following week that could decide which teams participate in the conference title game in Atlanta.
