After a dominant Week 1 win over East Carolina, the Alabama Crimson Tide now turn their attention toward the start of SEC football conference play this upcoming Saturday.
In Week 2, the Crimson Tide are set to travel for the first time this season, doing so to Lexington for a matchup with the Kentucky Wildcats. A conference opponent that Alabama has not faced since 2023, the Crimson Tide currently own an eight-game winning streak over Kentucky which dates back to 2003.
The Wildcats are also one of the SEC's teams who began a new era in Week 1, as Will Stein will be entering only his second game as Kentucky's head coach when the two teams meet Saturday afternoon.
Here are the latest odds for that Week 2 showdown between the Crimson Tide and Wildcats,
as well as an early pick for the game.
Alabama vs. Kentucky Week 2 game odds:
Odds according to FanDuel as of Tuesday, Sept. 8:
- Spread: Alabama (-10.5)
- Money Line: Alabama (-410), Kentucky (+315)
- Over/Under: 49.5
Alabama vs. Kentucky Week 2 prediction, pick:
While this is considered a potential "trap game" on Alabama's schedule due to a variety of factors, the Crimson Tide are still the pick to win in Lexington. I'll go with Keelon Russell to impress in his first road start, and for the difference maker to be Alabama's defense, forcing multiple turnovers from the Kentucky offense. Prediction: Alabama 33, Kentucky 20
Alabama vs. Kentucky Week 2 channel, start time, streaming:
