Laura Rutledge’s daughter Reese always predicts the winner of the weekend’s biggest college football game. For Week 13, Reese and her brother, baby Jack, chose the Kentucky-Texas game to predict.
To start the video, Reese showed everybody her Christmas tree. Baby Jack was more interested in the tree than making a pick for the game, and Reese tried to get him to focus.
“Every time he sees me do something crazy he just copies me,” explained Reese.
Reese eventually got down to business and made her decision.
“Longhorns! Go Longhorns!,” said Reese as she triumphantly lifted the Texas helmet over her head.

Reese is looking to end her cold streak. In Week 11, she picked Georgia to beat Ole Miss and in Week 12 she picked Tennessee to beat Georgia. The Texas pick could get Reese back on the winning track as the Longhorns are favored by 20.5 points over the Wildcats.
The Longhorns enter this game with a 9-1 overall record and a 5-1 mark in conference play. The Wildcats, meanwhile, enter with a 4-6 overall record and a 1-6 record in the SEC. To become bowl-eligible, the Wildcats have to win their final 2 games.
With the Longhorns being a new arrival to the SEC, these 2 teams are not familiar with each other. The new SEC foes have only played once, way back in 1951. The Longhorns won that matchup 7-6.
We’ll see if Reese picked the winning side when this game kicks off at 3:30 p.m. ET.
