WKU's three road losses are at LSU, South Carolina and Louisville, so the 0-3 road record takes on a little different meaning when you consider the competition. Also, WKU beat Vanderbilt AT Vandy's place. There's nothing out of line with the number at -2. That doesn't mean I think USA is the play in this game, just that I can see some logic in the number, that's all.

Strength of schedule Tips to western Kentucky. Line up to 3 now. Neither team has made it to 70 points in their last 5 meetings so I just can't justify the over at all. It's a no play for me at this point.

what about s. bama +1.5 first half they are at home and did score 43 in 1st half at florida.

WKU has averaged a hair over 70 pts/gm against teams that collectively allow only 64.2 pts/gm. On defense, WKU is allowing a 60.1 pts/gm to teams that collectively score 69 pts/gm.

So Alabama is a wash on offense, but has generously allowed 67 pts/gm on "D" to teams that collectively score only 64.

As mentioned above, 2 of the 3 road losses were to teams that would be giving S Alabama double digits......

Noticeable stats advantage to WKU, due to SoS. Rating the HCA will be the key in this one.

undaaa...for the 6th time in a row between the 2....nobody reaches 70.
