Kentucky Football News & Thoughts (29-3)

[jbragg10]

Here is our bowl chances as of right now:
If the Cats win their last 2 games, then they will be at 8-4, the same record as South Carolina (absent an upset loss to Clemson) with the Outback and Chik-Fil-A Bowls picking in that order. It is generally assumed (both by the media and the folks at UK) that the Outback will pick South Carolina, due to the Spurrier factor and the head-to-head game (both fan bases are expected to travel similarly to a game of that distance). Win one game and the Chik-Fil-A will be choosing between Ole Miss and Kentucky (both 7-5 teams) and I am hearing that it is all but assured that the Cats would be picked by the Atlanta game. Thus 1 or 2 wins and Atlanta is likely home. What if they win 0 games? Well due to Tennessee’s loss, that would mean that the Cats are once again slotted in the Music City-Liberty segment, this time with Vanderbilt. Does the Music City take home field Vandy or does UK decide to do something different and play Tulsa in Memphis?

Jbragg, we must go to the same sites =) I think we win this one by 6 and are on our way to Atlanta after we stomp Tenn(please let this happen)

if not ... you should check it out. I usually go there for recruiting information, but I saw that info about the bowls on there and decided to post it.

I think UK wins in this one, but I think you right. It might be too close to call

Yea ... we all miss some here and there. I post them and I try to give you all winners. I have done well up to this point. I just missed one. I am sure I will miss more down the road as well.

It happens. We can't be 100% on anything.

At least I am not some tout on here claiming I have the GOY or Lock of the year. I just post my analysis of a team that I know very well.

You can play or fade. I just want to try and help some people in here either way!

Good luck to you this week as well.

Just bustin your balls, GA came out flatter than piss on a plate last week, nobody could really forsee that, an they were pretty close to covering my teaser I included them in. No-play this week?

Yep that's the one :toast: Been going to Matt's site since he first started it.

I want Lindley to play against Vandy but if he has to sit out to get closer to 100% for the Tenn game, I think he should because the streak ends this year!

 

[jbragg10]

No-play this week?

Doubtful. I am still looking at it though.
On Friday, I will probably have a decision. I need to see if Lindley is going to play. Now they are saying Pryor is questionable. That wouldn't be good.

I think UK is the better team here. Their offense is starting to click.
The one thing that scares me is Vandy has 5 wins. They need one more to be bowl eligible.

It is senior night at UK.

Right now ... my lean is towards UK. I will let you know what I think later.

 

[Pokerfanatic]

Hey Jbragg, Lindley is playing and is close to 100% and Pryor is back to full strength and ready to go along with the rest of the D. It's suppose to be a nasty afternoon which could mean this turns into a running game so the under might be worth looking into.

 

[jbragg10]

yea ... the under would be a play if anything.
In this game ... I would lean towards UK still.

My post will be tonight.

Suck's bigtime!!!!

Who knew Georgia's defense sucked that bad? I mean the Gators scored mostly on short fields and turnovers the week before so I thought the Dawgs would only give up a few TD's but they were pathetic.

Looks like if Georgia had zero turnovers against the Gators they still would have been blown out...

THeir win over LSU was sooo deceptive. The Tigers bitch slapped 'em with nearly 500 yd's of offense!!:lol:

 

[jbragg10]

Alright ... nothing new from me.

I am making this a NO PLAY!

If you want a lean ... go with the under in this game.
Secondly ... I think UK will cover in this game, but I don't have enough confidence to make this a play.

UK's defense is healthy and back.

The only reason keeping me away from playing UK is Vandy has 5 wins. They need one more to be bowl eligible. They will play tough in this one

Some other stats I noticed about Vandy:
Vandy is 4-0 as an underdog of 3.5 to 10 points
They are 6-3 against the spread this year ATS
They are 5-1 as an underdog ATS
They are 3-1 on the road ATS
