Trap games for every SEC team - Kentucky Wildcats

Despite coming into the year with what should be a stellar defense under Mark Stoops, it’s tough to find a lot of wins on the schedule for the Wildcats. Any MAC team rolling into town, though, should be one that fans mark down as an easy W.

That gets a little more complicated, though, when the game in question comes against a MAC team coming off of a 10-3 season. It gets even more complicated when you consider that it is right between what might be the two biggest games of the year up in Lexington.

Kentucky has an early conference slate in 2024, playing South Carolina in week 3 and Georgia in week 3. Week 5 sees them travel to Oxford, Mississippi, for a showdown that is sure to be the ultimate clash of styles.

Right between the games against the Bulldogs and the Rebels, though, the Wildcats will face Ohio. As I said, the Bobcats are coming off a very successful season, so this isn’t your average MAC team. Big Blue will have to tread lightly in this one—this is the perfect recipe for an upset.
