It's almost time for Kentucky and Louisville to play for the Governor's Cup once again, so we've rounded up predictions from our sports staff.

Here's what they expect:

Cameron Teague Robinson: This year's Governor's Cup is basically a toss up. Louisville's offense has been explosive since turning the quarterback reins over to Micale Cunningham, but the defense struggles. Lynn Bowden doesn't give Kentucky much in the passing game, but he adds another weapon at quarterback in the rushing attack.
