My Cats only laying -3? I like it!! MSU's offense really has not impressed me that much this year and, when our boys in blue put their minds to it, there is no team in the country that can apply the defensive pressure we can....MSU has no Downey type of player that can go nuts and beat us single-handedly....we've lost the last 3 trips to Starkville but those were Billy Clyde's 2 years and Tubby's last year....this is a completely different "animal" invading Humphrey Coliseum Tuesday evening compared to the past 3 years....KY was tested hard by UT in their last game so no chance of the un-focused letdowns that happened in the  Alabama, South Carolina, Auburn games...UK by DD's!

Good stuff, leaning toward UK as well but some things to keep in min.

Mississippi State has had 1 blow out loss, was to Rider in the first game of the season. Lost at Vandy (RPI 15) by 3, neutral site loss to Richmond (RPI 28) by 1, Neutral site win on Old Dominion (RPI 33) by 14, they hang around, so I see why the line is so low but Kentucky plays hard on both ends, hard for Miss St to keep up. Just some interesting stats

Giving up just one possession by taking KY -3 is a good play IMO-anywhere in America except Allen Field House in Lawrence, Kansas!

Good points. Stats show it should be a close game. UK will cover the 3, but it will come down to the wire. Then again, we could have a blow out. Given these assumptions. lay 2 units on UK.

Nope I smell it too - they don't throw these out there to the lions too often and I've seen it before to where I couldn't believe they let the public rake in the chips so I'm staying away from the side and just gonna try to hit with the UNDER 143.5

Kentucky would beat all of the teams you just mentioned by 20+. The fact that Miss. St. lost to Richmond by 1 on a neutral site tells me nothing about this game. Kentucky rolls Miss. St. after a tough battle with Tennessee.
