    WKU played well against Alabama yesterday I was watching them

    They moved the ball on Alabama's D and what cost them was 4 turnovers on the Alabama side of the field

    They also played respectable defense

    WKU also played Kentucky close last year and should have won

    But Kentucky offense looked good in the 2nd half vs. LOU and against Kent State

    First lean is Kentucky but not endorsing a play yet

    W. Kentucky is a very respectable team and this a rival game. W. Kentucky has the better defense by far and may have the better offense as well. I LOVE this spot for Western Kentucky ML for me.

    STAY AWAY. Joker Phillips fighting for his job. Neither team is all that great. It is easy to say "Shitty team A is better than Shitty team B" but in reality they are both not that great. If you absolutely had to make a play... I would wait for a total and if it is up around 49 hit the under.

    Can't disagree more on your reply. W. Kentucky is far better than you realize.

    I am willing to listen to anything. I personally just feel with so many more games why are you relying on either team to carry you to a victory in this game? I mean W. Kentucky got shut out by bama 35-0 and everyone can say "Hey they moved the ball" well when it is a blowout bama does not care all that much if W. KY gets 300 yards or 30. Sure W. KY beat up Austin Peay but after all... it is Austin Peay.
    Kentucky played blah against Louisville and beat up on a Kent State team whom is not all that impressive.

    Honestly if you guys put money on W. KY I wish you the best of luck. My point is simply that saying either of these teams is good or impressive is laughable.

    W. Kentucky is the "little guy" and will be more hungry for this game. W. Kentucky returned nearly the same team as last year. This team is very well coached & has a very good defense. VERY strong play here, if you want to make $ I suggest you follow. Just an FYI Vegas Power Rankings have Western Kentucky the better team by 4 points

    It's not a rival game but our defense sucks. Western will be able to move it on us. I think our offense is better so who knows how it will turn out.

    saw wku against alabama last week. they were lucky not to lose by 50+ with all the turnovers. Haven't seen Kentucky play yet. But it is a rivalry game and these games are always tough to predict. so many other games on the board.

    For full disclosure, I'm a UK fan, but I'll try not to be a homer. Western KY as a program is getting better, but still not good enough. They played Kentucky well last year, but they lost their big time player Bobby Rainey, who is now playing for the Ravens. Also, that game was at a neutral location in Nashville.
    Kentucky's defense is pretty weak, but the offense is pretty good. Even if Kentucky gives up some points, which they probably will, the offense should put up at least 40, just like they did against Kent St. This is not a rival game for Kentucky, but WKU probably sees UK as a rival, so the psychological edge probably goes to WKU and they'll be more fired up for the game.
    In my opinion, I'd take UK -7 all day.

    Good stuff. They wont get near 40 points that I can assure you of. This is a perfect trap game and I'm trying to show everyone that.....I know its hard to see but so was Arizona last week I had for a ML.
