If I were a betting man I think that would be a pretty good bet for him. I think Vandy will still be celebrating their big win, maybe biggest ever, and will have an emotional let down. The only question would be when UK gets up by 14 will CMS still want the offense to be trying to score. Not a shot at CMS, just the way he runs things and something I think most here realize.
Vandy +11.5 on DK versus Kentucky

I think we are just a lot worst match up for Vandy. Good defenses are gonna be Vandy's hardest games this year. If you cant contain their QB and let them get rolling you are in trouble. I think we are completely set up to handle them. Bama Defense is really bad this year, 70+ pts in the last 6 quarters.
I think this game will completely come down to whether or not Stoops has UK dialed in. Letting this team sit in the glow of that victory for 2 weeks is worrisome but I think this team has A LOT better leadership then teams in the past.
We also cant understate the value of UK getting to implement new offenses structure to their newly found identity. Since they came back to this style of play they haven't had time to really work on stuff. I think Brock is gonna have a big day.

I just going by the results that we can look at this season. Look at our shared opponent: Georgia
GA vs UK
284 total yards
1 TD
GA vs AL
519 total yards
5 TDs
Now look at the defense rankings:
UK
244.2 ypg (5th in the country)
UGA
298 ypg (23rd)
I understand that and it's not unfair. The blind taste test we certainly look substantially better by those numbers. I just think it's a bit of a stretch to say Alabama's defense isn't remotely as good as ours just based on the 5* athletes they have up and down their defense 2 deep at every position.
Does he want any other bets? I would like to pay him as well. 😉
This is one good reason to doubt a 3 TD blowout.
Often, when in the final ten minutes of the 4th Q and leading by 15ish points, Stoops has essentially “shut it down.”
Picture UK at the 50 with a 20 point lead with 5 minutes to go.
Will Stoops take a shot, or maneuver to kick a filed goal?
No.
That’s one of the things I like about Stoops.

I had to take the bet. Dude is giving me 7 or 8 points more than Vegas?
Still, I will gladly pay $100.00 to see the Cats blow out a decent Vandy team.
That's fair. Also, I'd bet my life savings that Vandy doesn't hang 40 on UK like they did Alabama.
