Coming off a bye week, Kentucky is 4-4 with four November games remaining. Given the team’s struggles with quarterback injuries, an 8-4 season would be nothing short of remarkable. That said, Kentucky could instead go 5-7 (4-8 would be something of a stretch). With four winnable games on the schedule, how will Kentucky fare against its four November foes? Glad you asked.

Tennessee

Why UK can win: Solid wins the past two weeks aside, this UT team is hardly a juggernaut. Kentucky has outgained the Vols in yardage for the year and has surrendered fewer yards. The two things UT is doing best are passing and covering the pass. The problem is that UK is also good in pass coverage and rarely passes the ball itself on offense.

Why UT can win: History is on its side. UK has won twice since 1984 in this series. Last season, UT blasted the best Kentucky team since 1977. Tennessee also has solid momentum.

Chance of a UK win: 51 percent. This really looks like a pick-‘em game. Both teams have played well in their past few games, and this one will probably come down to turnovers. At home, UK might get the mildest of advantages.

Vanderbilt

Why UK can win: Well, Vandy is terrible. It’s battling Arkansas for last in pretty much every category in the league (except passing yards, thanks in part to Kentucky’s run-heavy offense with Lynn Bowden). The Commodores will very likely already be eliminated from bowl contention and coming off a probable whipping from Florida. Confidence won’t be high in Nashville.

Why Vandy can win: It is a road game for UK. The Wildcats have been brutal on the road, averaging just 6.7 points per game. That said, there’s no place in the SEC with less of a home-field advantage than Vanderbilt. It’s not that far from Lexington, the Commodores’ fan base has long since given up on the season, etc. Vandy also has some offensive playmakers, should they decide to show up.

Chance of a UK win: 85 percent. This might be even higher if UK beats Tennessee. Vandy is looking for a good excuse to sleepwalk through the rest of the season.

UT-Martin

Why UK can win: It’s an FCS team. UT-Martin lost at Florida, 45-0, the week before UK played the Gators down to the final seconds in Lexington. There’s a major talent gap here in UK’s favor.

Why UT-Martin can win: Given Kentucky’s lack of offensive variety and heavy run-based attack, the Wildcats play poorly from behind. If UT-Martin gets an early lead — and particularly if UK has struggled and/or lost the previous two games — it might have a shot.

Chance of a UK win: 99 percent. Teams can’t look past games, but we can. Show up and get a win for UK.

Louisville

Why UK can win: It’s a home game in a state rivalry that UK dominated last year. Louisville hasn’t had a chance to assemble the kind of depth needed to thrive late in the season. Kentucky could/should have some positive momentum (and clinched bowl eligibility) heading into this game.

Why Louisville can win: The Cardinals have been getting better over the course of the season. While playing in the wildly top-heavy ACC makes it hard to figure out how much credit to give them, UofL’s win over ranked Wake Forest was an impressive statement. Louisville will likely have already achieved bowl eligibility before this game, and if it can ruin Kentucky’s season (see bowl-denying wins over UK in 2014 and 2015), it will be only too glad to do so.

Chance of a UK win: 60 percent. Louisville might be playing better than Tennessee right now, but UK should be in a good place coming into this game. It’s a road game and a new rivalry for UofL coach Scott Satterfield.
