To all of you who said Florida would be a 3 or 4 point favorite.
Kentucky -2.5 (fanduel)
Kentucky -2.5 (fanduel)
UF-UK spread is out
- Thread starter Jamal Mercer
- Start date
I honestly have no idea what the spread should be with this UK team right now. I like that they are at home but they have to do a better job getting going in the first half. I could see a ten point win or a ten point loss with this crew right now.
-2.5 was about where I thought it would be. The ones who were saying Florida would be favored are the same ones who had us going to the NIT after Ohio State. Florida is certainly capable of beating us but no way were they going to favored on the road against us.
if we are hitting shots we can beat anyone, maybe it's just me, but it almost seems like we have gotten a little tentative , we got good shooters, start shooting,,,

Looking for this UK team to come out playing like their hair is on fire! A top 5 unbeaten Florida team coming into Rupp! Hopefully it’s similar to that 2003 beat down! “This Cats team is for real, my friends!

Florida can obviously beat us. But I think our A game is better than theirs when it comes together for us. 2nd half vs Duke and Gonzaga, that’s what we need.
Our A game is probably better than almost anyone's this year, but it requires almost everyone to be on from 3 or everyone needs to be on the same page running the offensive sets and that as proven to be hard to come by.
I think it's probably not unfair to say our true A game is elite, but will happen at a lesser frequency than other top teams. Either that, or we need our A game to beat top teams because we do lack guys who can just take over and talent their way to keeping us in the game.
Florida's schedule makes them look better than they are. Without looking it up I think there best win was against a UNC team that just lost to UofL. Florida is ripe for the pickin.
You just know Roger Ayers and Pat Adams are waiting by the phone from the league office.
To do my part in securing the win, I'm going to place a nominal bet on UF to cover
Got no clue. Nobody goes undefeated unless they are good. On the other hand the Cats have proved they can play good as well.
I expect a knuckle nibbles of a game.

I just guessed, like most of us. To be honest the way we've played and the way UF looks, regardless of it being at Rupp, I'm surprised we are a favorite at all.
Also, I'm not a gambler so I'm likely one of the most horrible spread "guessers" on this forum.
@Tampa_cat54 since you had some commentary in another thread.

For some odd reason I could easily see Pat Adams doing that slide in a game.
These 2 guys and Pat Adams....
I should definitely do this too based on the results of me deciding to place a basketball bet for the first time in my life vs. Ohio State
It should come down to the final few minutes if we can keep KYs 3 point shooting in check some. We have actually played decent at KY the last 7 seasons and are 3-4 in those 7 games.
Doug Shows, Pat Adams, and Bill Self
I crack up every time I see that wrestling ref. All refs should be that good at their job lmfao.

If Roger Ayers has the game, statistically speaking you would be insane not to bet Florida to beat the spread.
The spread does not mean a dang thing if we don't come ready to play defense and win. The spread is set to entice people to bet. If too much money is bet on one side the spread will change. The spread does NOT guarantee who wins, only to get the most dollars bet.
13-0 is impressive nomatter what when you're blowing teams out, but they don't have a win close to our 2 best.
One thing that really sticks out to me is 11 of their 13 games where somehow in the state of Florida.

FL hasn't played a great schedule so no super quality wins.
The line also suggests Vegas respects FL despite that and also isn't high on UK as the line is essential for home court.

I think this is opposite. I think if everything goes right for Florida they are the better team, but I think our floor is higher than theirs.
Wouldn't make it correct just because someone says it about any game. UF has some underclassmen who are talented and still learning and getting better. Like 95% of UK's production is reliant on guys that most would agree have peeked talent wise but are very steady producers (Floor).
