Wow, can you believe Bama beat UGA that bad?  It was a lot worse then the final score...I'm shocked, but at the same time very very happy.  As for this weekend vs. Kentucky, not sure what the spread is yet, but the way Bama is playing lately it would be hard to bet against them...

If you thought Bama beat Georgia bad I cant wait till this game they are going to kill Kentucky. Kentucky might beat Arkansas and Vandy if they get beat up other then that Kentucky might not win another game.  ROLL TIDE

Guys, don't take too much stock into the Georgia game now.  The reason Alabama beat Georgia was mainly the fact that UGA waited until the second half to switch up its schemes defensively.  Wilson can be rattled easily with blitz (not zone coverage) and don't run straight at their D-line thinking you gonna plow over them. 

Sure, Bamas strong on the lines, but I'm sure ole Richy is smart enough to realize how to counteract that with that great game film to see (look at difference in 1st/2nd halves), and Kentucky has got the horses to do it. 

Bama also tends to downplay to the perceived strength in their opponents.

No I am not sore over UL loss think they had a bad game.Think Kentucky has gotten to much praise for the little bit they have done and the real test is about to begin.

Now to some real facts on this game. Kentucky Linebacker Micah Johnson most likely miss the game high ankle sprain .May be one of there best D players. Also starting Right Tackle Justin Jeffries on Offense will not play.After this Saturdays game the RB for W.Kentucky who had 99 yds vs Kentucky and only 11 vs Alabama said Kentucky dont match up good vs Alabama that Alabama was faster and bigger. and a quote from RB Rainey " As far as Kentucky to me they're softer up front" ROLL TIDE

No one is giving them praise this year. Preseason rank #71. 4-0 and they are still not ranked.

What a great meaningless stat.  Heres another meaningless stat for you. Alabama beat Western 41-7 . We beat them 41-3. oohhh. Little Brother fans always gotta take shots at the big brother in the state. Just worry about your cardinals and stop putting down the wildcats. Just wait untill basketball season untill you start talking.  And for the love of God change your avatar. Your a UL fan, yet you have the UK b-ball mascot for your picture and now your saying "roll tide" like an Alabama fan. UL fans are sooo low-class. Murray State has more class than you guys.

16.5 points is a lot of points to give to any opponent in the SEC.  If the UK defense can slow down the tide running game, the cats have a chance at a huge upset.  John Parker Wilson has mostly freshmen to throw at and he is not very impressive in his own right and has shown he can make mistakes and UKs defense has shown it can capitalize on mistakes quickly.  UK's defense is the best it has been since '77 and Alabama has already shown a penchant for a little letdown after a big game in the state Georgia.  Before I put my money down, I am going to wait and see if it goes over the 17 point level and then take UK for sure and will play the under as well as long as it is around 45.  Brooks has something up his sleeve and even with the injuries that UK has defensively, they have the depth to overcome those and still be dominant.  The UK offense is the biggest problem and if they can get anything going, this will be a close game.

Faded BAMA these last two weeks, got me nowhere. All the public money should be on Bama, but I like UK and think there defense does enough to keep their offense in the game. If public is on BAMA, im on Wildcats.

Like +17 here. This line is inflated. Prime spot for Tide letdown;can't see them bringing the same emotional intensity here. Public is 70% now and expect that to maintain;if not go higher.
+7 to -17 in one week;sign. change in perception. Too much imo. UK schedule so far pretty weak but Def .definetly v. strong. 5.5 ppg.
I'll invest with this number and a good D.

I think people need to hop on Bama-they could be the most well coached team in the land-and they are playing dominant football right now. Nick Saban has this team focused on absolutely kicking thier opponents ass every play. Their is no way KY can hang with this AL team in the trenches-this is a mismatch. I don't care what KY beat West KY by-doesn't matter
 
AL 1H and GAME-this one won't even be close

This game could surprise alot of people. I believe this game will be closer than most would expect. Alabama is a good, young football team, but the young part could be there downfall. I just don't see them having the depth to go thru the SEC without 2 or 3 losses, this being one of them. I know there are some Bama guys that are not gonna like this post and it is not my intention to diminish what Bama has done to date, but I try to look at each teams best win to date (Bamas being Georgia). I think the pollsters started to realize early on that they may have overranked Clemson and Georgia due to the fact that they continued to drop Georgia without having lost. I also think that Bamas lack of depth and how young there team is showed in the 2nd half of the Georgia game. IMO this game could come down to the last play. I will take the points on this one.
