Predictions and Betting Preview for the Miami RedHawks vs Kentucky Wildcats College Football Game on September 3 2022
- Where: Kroger Field, Lexington, Kentucky.
- When: Saturday, September 3, 2022, 7:00 PM E.T.
Betting on the Miami RedHawks
- Season record: 0-0.
- Spread: +16.5.
- Moneyline: +550.
- Over/Under: 54.5.
The Miami RedHawks were one of five teams to have a positive record in the Mid-American Conference in the 2021 NCAAF season. However, that was not enough to get them farther than the regular season, so they will be hoping to have better luck this time around.
Having retained much of their core of players will surely be a positive factor as they look to keep improving. Not only did they retain quarterback Brett Gabbertt, who threw 26 touchdown passes and for just over 2,600 yards, but much of the offensive line that protected him is back.
Notwithstanding, the same cannot be said for the defense after losing key players such as their leader in tackles, so it will have to be seen if they manage to maintain the 23.1 points allowed per game from 2021.
Betting on the Kentucky Wildcats
- Season record: 0-0.
- Spread: -16.5.
- Moneyline: -833.
- Over/Under: 54.5.
After finishing the 2020 NCAA campaign with a 5-6 record, the Kentucky Wildcats were able to put together a team good enough to finish second in the Southeastern Conference East Division with a 10-3 overall record, and closed their campaign by winning the Citrus Bowl over Iowa 20-17.
Their offense did an excellent job by averaging 32.2 points per game and 425 total yards per game. But it remains to be seen if they can maintain the level now under the direction of a new offensive coordinator like Rich Scangarello, and will once again have five of the eleven offensive elements they had in 2021. However, they will have to be careful on defense since they lost several players and had to bring in several new ones as replacements, and they will be hoping they will blend in as quickly as possible.
JefeBet Prediction
Starting the season at home will surely help Kentucky, which will be looking to continue last year’s great work. Besides, having a team like Miami in front of them will be a great way to start off on the right foot.
Miami’s changes of the defense could work against them in this visit against what was one of the most explosive offenses in the NCAA last season. In addition, Miami allowed 148.9 yards on the ground on average in 2021, which further opens the door for the Wildcats to come away with a wide-open victory.
Prediction: Kentucky Wildcats Spread.
