I'm on UK +4 from early game thread. What do we expect tonite?

I expect the co.cks to dismantle an overperforming team.

Kentucky runs the ball well, and this appears to be USCs biggest weakness. I will not have money on this game, but I would lean towards UK

I had this pegged as South Carolina -5, and didn't play it because of the whole "65% road SEC cover" phenomenon.

Kentucky was a team I pegged to fade, because they had every sign of being a letdown team this year. Positive side of variance and turnovers in 2006, a +2 in close games last year, and a defense that couldn't tackle an infant. But yet, here they are, 5-0.

I'm on UK +4, but it's probably the pick I'm least confident of this week. I don't think either team will stop the other.

Thinking USC's atmosphere will be more intimidating than usual on a Thursday night. But I still like UK at +4.

Also, line appears to be moving to 3.5 now.
I got UK at +4, -115.

Do you think the line is skewered by the fact all anyone on ESPN talks about is Andre Woodson?

Line in Vegas sportsbooks (local joints..not strip casinos)...3.5

USC -3.5 -110.

If your looking to knock Kentucky (and I am)..who have they beaten. Louisville..how good are they (see Syracuse)Arkansas...give up a ton of points to Troy & Alabama.

SC...big win @ Georgia...and doesn't get blown out @ LSU.

As much as I am not a Spurrier fan...I kinda like SC right now.

total BSP opinion (me) -

i'm a UVA fan, and as such have have gained a lot of experience in the last few years identifying soft/overrated teams. I view kentucky as soft and overrated and think USC will have no problem covering 4-5, and i wouldn't be surprised if its a bit of a blowout. [/BSP]
