Remember it’s hard to win on the road this year. Expect to be close… tigers pull out a Win!
This is almost always true, however Kentucky has the #1 away winning percentage in the SEC at 71%, while they are only 7th in the SEC at home at 74%, so for some reason they seem to play just as good away from home this year as they do at home. They don't seem to be impacted as much by being away from home as other teams, and since LSU's crowd isn't as rowdy as many, I think it won't impact them at all. On the other hand, it should help LSU, but Kentucky is playing very well at the moment.

Part of that reason is because they really haven't played a tough slate of true road games:
Louisville
Florida
A&M (L)
South Carolina (L)
Arkansas
Vanderbilt
Auburn
Obviously the Auburn win is really, really impressive. But other than that the only team they beat on the road with a pulse is Florida...by 2.
It's Kentucky. They are used to getting every opponent's "best crowd". So I doubt LSU's moderately more energetic crowd will have a huge effect. Particularly with them coming off a great performance at maybe the toughest road environment in the SEC. But in context it's hard to say they have been "world beaters" on the road.
