Kentucky Opens as 10-Point Underdog at Mississippi St.

[Joneslab]

Sort of surprised it's that many points.

[UK8STL11]

Wow, seems like a lot. But, they are a play away from being 6-0 as well as a few plays away from being 3-3.

I think a lot of people still aren't sure what this team really is.

[Old School]

I'm a little surprised it isn't more, and it may be more soon.

I'd guess the line with Tennessee would be about even right now, or maybe Kentucky favored by 1. If Kentucky fares well against MSU or Tennessee is humiliated by Alabama (33 point line right now, and that's with full acknowledgement that Saban pulls starters quickly in runaways), that could tilt Kentucky's way. I'd guess Kentucky would be favored by about 3 or 4 vs. Ole Miss. Vanderbilt...about even, or Vanderbilt by about 1. And, yes, I saw Saturday's game.

I kind of thought a four point dog. I believe this one will come down to the last minute.

Lol...as usual this year.
Hard to see the Cats pulling this out.....but then again, I thought the same about South Carolina.
Find a way, guys....find a way.

MSU aren't the darlings they were a few weeks ago. We can win this game. We have our leader on defense back. As UK8STL11 alluded to, we seem to have been living on borrowed time. I foresee a tough, gritty, and determined squad Saturday. No different than what we have been seeing. This team has a will to win. It's nail biting and head scratching, but exciting at the same time. We are right where I thought we would be to this point. We can win 9 games this year and I believe we will.

I still remember the hype that South Carolina was getting before the UK game. They were even touting the Strength and conditioning coach for the game ****************s, like he had some magic formula that transformed them into championship caliber players over the off season.

[Lighthouse]

This will be a tough game with both teams out to make a statement. It will be tough on Kentucky fans, but fun to watch. We will be healthy, determined and not easy to beat.

[KevinHall]

Ten points is about right. I'm glad I don't bet because this would be a tough one at that spread.

[Dwight Schrute]

10 points may be a tad much, but I don't think we win this game.

[CATHYnKY]

My main concern is to stay healthy the rest of the games. EVERYBODY!!!!

[CATHYnKY]

BTW, who is the backup QB???

[Old School]

The line is now up to 10.5.

[Lighthouse]

BTW, who is the backup QB???

Barker.

[wildcatdon]

I don't think we win this one either. Just the gut talking plus a stagnant offense.

[Matt Dillon]

I may be as wrong as wrong can be, but I feel that this is a pivotal game for the Cats. If we go down there and play well and win by at least 7-10 points I feel like we may very well win 9 or 10 games this season. If we go down there and lose, especially if we don't play well, then all bets are off.
