If I had $10k to bet

[kafka0117]

I would have to put it on the Gators. New coach, new system, new attitude, new culture, playing at home against UK with no Rodriguez and iffy O-line. You know Florida is sick of UK recent history against them. I'm laying the 4 points and taking Florida. Hope I'm wrong.

What's your take?

 

[HerrosHeroes]

You’re going to be 10,000 lighter in the ole pocket.

 

[SaltyCat22]

I agree. Fading UK hard. Vegas thinks they’re cute keeping it under a TD. They’re trying to play mind games and bait folks to take the points.

Well, if you don't have 10k, why dont you bet 1k or 100?

I hope you're right. I want UK to go undefeated, as we all do. I just think this is an awful tough test for an unproven offensive line and anemic running game. I feel like the Gators are going to make Levis beat them. Given how much he scrambled under pressure from Miami of Ohio pass rush, I don't see how this will be any easier in the Swamp.

 

[southindycat]

If we do it, I think it will be largely due to extraordinary TO margin in our favor, and winning on ST... maybe a punt return TD this week? Throw in 3 INT including a pick 6... It's this, or Lavell Wright goes to the Swamp and impersonates JoJo Kemp. Hmm... 😗

They gators are going to make Levis beat them, good! Coming off 300 yards 3 td's 9 different receivers catching passes and didn't even need to run the ball. Levis is very capable of beating UF, not guarantee for sure but I like his chances!

To win or cover?

 

[Tskware]

If I had $10,000 to bet, I would put it on Flightline in the BC Classic. 🤞

I wouldn't bet $10K on a football game lol but if it was $100 I'd take Florida-4.

 

[Ed323232]

I worry that win will have the swamp fired up. I do think UK didn’t show much in the first game. Hopefully Levis can use his legs more. And a couple of big plays in special teams will help. Honestly I’m worried

 

[dvillecatfan]

Will Levis gonna step up and put the team on his back this weekend. Throwing for 225+ with 2td and rushing for 50+ and a TD.

 

[LukaszObrzut]

We may lose but the concept of changed mindset after 1 game is ridiculous

 

[StubbornPenny]

Florida money line is the safest bet. Still wouldn’t touch the game.

 

[Backer cutter]

If I had 10000 to bet you wouldn’t have to read my sorry assed posts on this site for awhile. I’d back my old dump truck up to the golf ball factory and play till I ran out of balls. ( probably about two weeks).

I wish , but his u gonna get a pick six without a pass rush .

Only bet that horse will help on is to single in a pick 4/5.

As far as the intangibles go new coaching staffs installing new systems typically talk awhile to develop sometimes they have to be in place for an entire year before they start playing in an efficient manner, so I would not call that an advantage. The revenge factor is a plus for Florida especially they way they melted down against us last year so they no longer take UK lightly and have something to prove. OTOH Florida obviously went all in against Utah in the big opener and (with a lot of luck) knocked them off. Teams often exhale after a game like that. OTOH UK is almost in the of "back to business" type attitude you get after a loss. So in a way we won, but they lost psychologically. That's a plus for UK.

I think Kentucky's defense played pretty well last week after giving up that first possession score, I think Kentucky has an advantage in their defensive front 7, OTOH Florida has an advantage over us with their secondary though not much. I see this as a low scoring game where defenses on both sides determine the outcome.

UK: 21
UF: 17

No.
They want even money on both sides. So they try to lay points in whichever direction and by how much they think it'll take to make that happen. Their money is made on prop bets, parlays, etc .

Vegas don't get "cute" with money.

 

[Cefiro]

I bet on UF, we had 50 rushing yards against Miami of Ohio.

 

[Ukgold]

Is this the biggest game under Stoop. Win it and maybe have a shot to play for the east. If we lose no sec title shot and possibly the end of Will's Heisman run.

I’ve read so many post saying this is the biggest game of Stoops career it’s unbelievable. Seems like every game. I’ll tell you what though, he brought it on himself, when he u-turned the program. I kinda like that. Hope it’s said for years to come. Then one day, it will be.

 

[StubbornPenny]

I wouldn’t call it the biggest game, because we can still have a great season without it. But it’s a game that could be a turning point, both with us against Florida and the SEC in general.

beat them this year and it’s 3 out of the last 5 (one being an aberration where we had no QB). We climbed that South Carolina hill, Florida is a mountain.

 

[ManitouDan]

Yeah I thought the line should be 6-7 .. But the best thing for UK was Utah choking and UF getting that big win .

Not to be negative, but we won’t have a shot at the East regardless. The talent gap between us and UGA is massive. They beat a good power 5 team by over double what we beat Miami of Ohio by.

This team can be good and we can still drop 3, 4, or even 5 games this year. I just feel like fans created unrealistic expectations this year.

 

[east_ky_cat_fan]

I took Fla to beat the spread. I hope like hell I'm wrong. But the thumping I expect to happen may be a little less painful.

 

[LukaszObrzut]

I can’t imagine betting that horrible money line

Wow not to be rude but this is the most naysayer post ever - the cliche “I bet you’re fun at a party” post

First, we have the "is this the biggest game" talk every year. No it is not. Lose this game and win the rest and you are in Atlanta. Second, there is no Will Heisman talk. After 10 games, there could be, but there is none now.

Is it really the fans. Im feeling like it was Media and stoops that planted the seed. Then fan ran with it after that.

Or is it returning a viable starting QB from a 10-3 team, the most former 4 and 5 Star players in our history, and several years of close competition (or wins) over the likes of UF?

I’m not predicting we blow UF out, but taking too much out of that Miami game is a mistake. I strongly suspect we showed very little of what we will see against UF.

 

[StubbornPenny]

I can’t imagine betting that horrible money line

thats says why I said I wouldn’t touch it lol.

 

[BlueTick2]

It would surprise me if UK can keep it close. Too many players out, injuries and suspension. I will consider it a win if Will doesn't get hurt and the score is within 20 points.

 

[EKCAT4YRS]

I wouldn't bet $10K on a football game lol but if it was $100 I'd take Florida-4.

Then you will be happy to know, it's up to 5.5,, I am expecting/hoping it goes to 6 then I will bet on the Cats! I expect UK to win outright! We will see!

 

[Kentuckynerd]

Since when does a New Coach mean its gonna be jump started to their liking. I think UK goes down and proves they are different than the UK of old.

A new Coach usually means the beginning of the process to improve.

 

[DCFseattle]

I'm not a betting man, but I'll take mine over your'n every time.

Cats by 90

 

[MrHotDice]

Bet with your head, not with your heart and you’ll lose and win the same amount.

I agree, but the process takes time and usually not the 1st season.
