The model favored UK to win, and the call landed.
Kentucky's got this locked up at 97 percent, and honestly, it's not even close. The Wildcats are bringing a massive talent advantage here with a 22 and a half point spread, and the betting market is firmly in their corner. Youngstown State's gonna need to play nearly perfect football to pull off the upset at just 3 percent, because everything from Vegas to the Elo ratings to how well Kentucky's been moving the ball lately points in one direction only.
