Ohio at Kentucky Betting Pick & Prediction – 9/21/2024

The Ohio Bobcats will take on the Kentucky Wildcats on September 21, 2024, with the Bobcats listed as 20 point underdogs according to DraftKings Sportsbook. Early betting trends show that the Bobcats have 29% of the spread bets, while the Wildcats have 71%. The total is at 42.5, with 27% of bets on the under and 73% on the over. Continue reading for our breakdown of this Ohio vs Kentucky game and for our best bet ahead of this non-conference contest.

Can Ohio Breach Stout Kentucky Defense?

The Ohio Bobcats are 2-1 to start their season, winning two games in a row after dropping their opener on the road against Syracuse. Here, the Bobcats will hope for a better result in their second game of the season against a power conference opponent. For that to happen, Ohio is going to need to be at their best at the point of attack on both sides of the ball, as their opponent hangs its hat on winning with its defense and its physicality rather than with any kind of impressive passing attack.

Kentucky Hopes to Bounce Back From Consecutive Losses

The Kentucky Wildcats are 1-2 early in the year, dropping back-to-back SEC games to South Carolina and Georgia in their last two outings. Here, the Wildcats will go back to facing non-conference competition, which has made them a heavy favorite. Here, Kentucky will be expected to win up front on both sides of the ball. But the question for Kentucky will be whether they can get enough out of their passing game when they need it, as quarterback Brock Vandagriff has barely averaged 100 passing yards per game to start the season.

Ohio vs Kentucky Best Bet

Kentucky should be able to win big against a MAC opponent here after looking shaky offensively against their last two opponents out of the SEC. But instead of laying 20 points in this Ohio vs Kentucky matchup, we will take the under instead, with our expectation being that the Kentucky defense will have a big game while their offense will still go through some occasional struggles en route to what should be a win in Lexington.
