    Kentucky/Alabama
    Line is UK -4

    Not sure if anyone can tell me anything about Alabama.

    Im leaning UK because of their recent play which is flawless besides the Georgia loss.

    Alabama hasn't beaten anyone good yet.


    This matchup seems eerily similar to Kansas vs Baylor

    Im heavily leaning UK

    I think UK is pretty safe. Pretty solid team.

      dont lean too heavy. Alabama is a decent team. If you think Kentucky is as good as Syracuse/Pitt then the fair line would be UK -6. I can never judge UK out of hatred so I usually avoid them

              I have been doing some research on this game and have decided to stay away from this game. Kentucky is 1-2 SU as a small fav on the road.

                Not to start an argument but if your looking at this logic, then why wasn't Kansas favored by more than 4 last night against Baylor, seems to me to be the same sort of match up, and you see how that ended up...

                P.S. I'm not a UK fan in anyway either living in Cincinnati...

                  Guys I'm a bama guy and won't be betting this game either way however I can offer a small amount of insight/my opinion. I honestly thought a week ago looking forward to this game that we could be a 7 point dog here easily. There are two little tidbits that may or may not influence your bet tonight but the first is Bama is only allowing 56.8 points per game. We have held teams that average 70+ to scores in the 50's constantly and especially at HOME. We are 9-0 at home this season (as are most schools starting league play). The second factor in this game is the matchup inside. For the first time in a long time Bama isn't at a HUGE disadvantage here which will control reb. and obviously second chance point better for the Tide that in the past against Kentucky.

                  Just some insight. Nothing major. While I do like Bama +4 I'm not touching it tonight. Even in a tease on either side it smells because if Kentucky gets hot shooting and the Bama D doesn't play like it has been we could possibly get blown out. But if they miss alot of shots then it plays right into our hands.

                          If Kentucky can hit behind the arc they will cover. Alabama has pretty good defense though. I lean towards Kentucky, but I didn't make a play.

                              Would seem that way... Only way its a lock as an under is if bama at least keeps it close or is leading throughout. We truly cannot outscore anybody in a shootout.

                                Fade the public. 88% on Kentucky and line had gone down to 4.

                                  Even though it says 88% is on KY, look at this thread over half of it is on ALA. The reason this line is going/gone down is because more people are betting ALA, if u really want to fade the public take KY -4.
                                  Plus, they do have more talent and better coaching. They also just lost on the road to UGA, they're not gonna want 2 lose 2 in a row on the road. They'll be ready 2 play 2nite.
