Western Kentucky Hilltoppers vs FIU Panthers: Pick
In the previous three games, Kentucky got a slow start in the first quarter. They did not score a lot but picked up pace in the second half. Even if they are favorites here, they could start slow but will do well not to concede a lot going into the second half.
Austin Reed has been magnificent for the Hilltoppers. In three games, the quarterback has managed 876 yards with nine TDs. His contribution here would be extremely valuable for the team.
