UK's offense is questionable with Cobb out although that may help them in the same way as he got into the habit of looking to run when he got any pressure when trying to pass. Hartline looked tons better throwing the ball against UT, albeit too little too late and if the young receivers can learn something with the extra five weeks practice and the defense can get healthy again, this should be a decent game for UK. Brooks has been known as a gambler in bowl games and if they cannot get things going their own way, UK will get creative. Skip Holtz for ECU pulled off one big upset in the conference finale beating Tulsa and to start the season with big upsets (at the time) and I wonder if he has any more magic up his sleeve for this one.
Don't get me wrong but I bleed UK blue and am on the fence here and may only take the under as UK may have to depend on its defense..AGAIN for some points. Leaning to ECU, especially if it stays under 3 and it looks like it should.

2 teams going in opposite directions to end the year - kentucky has dropped 4 of 5 su to end the year, while ecu has won 6 of 7 su. ecu is not great on the road ats at 2-6, but did win and cover on a neutral site- and this spread is not much at -3. laying 6-7 may concern me being that they're not at home, but i'll lay the 3.

Kentucky has banged heads with Florida, Georgia, Alabama(losing to the latter by a combined 9 points!) and the rest of the SEC. The Defense they have is certifiable! ECU on the other hand is a team that the public fell in love with early, who doesn't possess a lot of offense and wins ugly......kind of like Kentucky. The ATS record for ECU in Conference USA and the fact that Kentucky has played far more physical opponents throughout the year and has a better defense is enough for me to take the dog.
