YTD - 2-1 + $ 439.00


OK this is a game I really like this week.

Alabama will exploit the Kentuky defense all day.

Kentucky will double up on J Jones and McElroy
will torch them.

Alabama to run for about 300 yds

Kentucky has 3 playmakers on their team, but Hartline at QB there is little chance to get them the football very much.

Alabama defense digs in the trenchs and makes it hurt like a mofo

I'm on this one for 2 units at -15.5. This Bama qb is something else. This Bama D is something else. THE ONLY thing that bothers me is the line opened at -17.7 and was quickly bet down..........:shrug: . Bamas qb is just starting to get heisman talk, I'm hoping Bama runs the score to prove a point.

LEXINGTON, KY - 12:21 PM ET

After shutting down a high-flying Arkansas offense, Alabama turns its defensive eyes to a Kentucky offense that ranks 87th in the nation. The Wildcats' only other win in the series, which they trail 2-34-1, came in 1922

The only problem I have with the game is that
Kentucky has been known to keep this game close over the years.

We have alot on our side including your mention of run the score to prove a point.

Florida just made their point last week vs Kentucky. Now Alabama follows a week later.

Everything to me points to a pounding all day long on offense and defense for Alabama.

I asked a capper I talk to about last years score and how the teams now differ. I asked if enough change was made to cover a spread like this. He feels there is, this D is pretty stout. This Qb is big. He likes how they run the pro set and feels it would help the transition to pro's. But all that does'nt mean shit, cause our $$$ is on it now, lol.

A lot of times the big spread is the most difficult wager to win.

What we need to happen is for Alabama to jump on them early and let the defense have Kentucky start at their own 20 every series, and shut them down like clowns.

The bad scenario of course, is that something freaky happens at the start of the game. A fumble or interceptiion by our team, a fluke kick return by Kentucky and Alabama goes down by 14 points.

If that happens its very difficult for a play like this to win. We know Alabama will come back strong to win, but getting the cover is another story.

Then I think about the way Florida shut down Kentucky's offense.

Then my mind drifts to the way Alabama shut down the Arkansas passing game last week. That was something to behold.

ROLLTIDE !

Alabama is one of the most talented teams in the country.

They will step up and make a statement. They have to , to maintain in the poll position.

The Tide are not considered to be on the same level as Florida when it comes to offense, but they have been balanced and plenty effective.

While averaging 40.5 points and 490.5 yards per game, Alabama has had at least 230 yards passing in every game and rushed for at least 260 in each until getting held to 134 last week.

First-year starter Greg McElroy made up for the limited ground attack by having the best game of his career, going 17 of 24 for 291 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions. For the second straight week, no Alabama player had a 100-yard rushing or receiving game.:00hour


Though Alabama doesn't present the quick-strike offense Florida does, the Wildcats can't afford to get off to a start like the one they had last week. They trailed 31-0 after the first quarter, getting outgained 223-(minus 1), and didn't get a first down until midway through the second.:scared :sadwave: :scared

I hate to say it Scott, but I think you are probably right. Last years final score was not really a good indicator of the difference between the 2 teams. Bama's just to tuff on the line of scrimmage. And although a good passer with a good grasp of the game, Hartline is not able to even remotely escape a rush and is subject to coughing it up if even sneezed on. Having the Gators & Bama back to back, then at S Carolina & Auburn is a lot to ask of any team. Don't see how they could have anything left for the Gamecocks...may be just as good a play?

What are you doing here? Tell me why you are here. If you are not here to win a national championship, you're in the wrong place. You boys are special. I don't want my players to be like other students. I want special people. You can learn a lot on the football field that isn't taught in the home, the church, or the classroom. There are going to be days when you think you've got no more to give and then you're going to give plenty more. You are going to have pride and class. You are going to be very special. You are going to win the national championship for Alabama.

If you want to walk the heavenly streets
of gold, you gotta know the password,

"Roll, tide, roll!"

Let?s take a look at the positional matchups for Saturday?s SEC showdown.

Quarterback

Advantage Alabama. Greg McElroy has people wondering if he?ll make a trip to New York after a phenominal start to the season, while Mike Hartline is wondering why the SEC scheduled his team arguably the two toughest defenses in the country, back to back. Look for McElroy to use a lot of receivers on Saturday to open up the Wildcat defense.

Running Backs

Advantage Alabama. Alabama has four backs who have rushed for over 100 yards this season (Ingram-347, Richardson-280, Grant-166, Upchurch-107), while Kentucky has just one, Derrick Locke (169 yards). The Tide have one of the most formidable backfields in the country and should expose this Kentucky defense.

Wide Receivers

Advantage Alabama. McElroy has spread the ball around to fourteen different receivers this year (10 are receivers or tight ends), and it?s because he has so much talent and depth at the position. Marquise Maze ((8 rec, 194 yds, 2 TD) is looking like on of the best deep threats in the SEC this season. Julio Jones is still one of the best receivers in the country and will cause some serious matchup issues for the Wildcats. Look for Hanks, Peek, and McCoy to get some looks, as well. Randall Cobb ((18 rec, 191 yds, 2 TD) looks to be the only real threat for Kentucky. The athletic Cobb, who played mostly quarterback last season, has responded well to the switch to wideout.

Offensive Line

Advantage Alabama. This unit has been great this year in both the running game, as well as protecting the passer. They have been able to get a great push on the opposing front seven, and seem to be really meshing well together as the season progresses. Kentucky returns three senior starters, tackles Zipp Duncan and Justin Jeffries, and center Jorge Gonzalez.

Defensive Line

Advantage Alabama. I think this is the best D-line unit in the nation, and they show no signs of changing my mind. While Cody seems to steal much of the spotlight (literally and figuratively), many of the other members of the line have played exceptional this season. Marcel Dareus looks to be one of the most unblockable players the SEC has seen this year, while Lorenzo Washington and Brandon Deaderick give the Tide consistent play against both the run and the pass. Kentucky only returns senior tackle Corey Peters from last years starters, but keep an eye on freshman end Collins Ukwu.

Linebackers

Advantage Alabama. Obvoiusly the Hightower loss is a pretty big hit to this unit, but because of their depth (and Rolondo McClain) they should be able to overcome his absence. Look for Eryk Anders to slide over and fill Hightower?s role for the most part, while Courtney Upshaw will most likely take over in Anders? spot. Look for Chris Jordan, as well as freshmen Nico Johnson and Tana Patrick to be in the mix as well. Kentucky?s linebacking core is highlighted by Micah Johnson, who passed up the NFL to return for his senior season.

Defensive Backs

Advantage Alabama. I thought that with Arkansas heavy pass attack that the Alabama secondary would get tested and possibly show some signs of weakness. Well they got tested and received about as good of scores as you could hope for. With the exception of the lone touchdown pass, Arkansas wasn?t really able to do anything through the air thanks to lockdown coverage from Kareem Jackson, Javier Arenas, and Marquis Johnson. Arenas was also able to record two sacks, while safety Justin Woodall added an interception. Woodall and fellow safety Mark Barron played exceptional against the run and pass, while Robbie Greeen helped on obvious pass situations and looked great. Kentucky brings back corner Trevard Lindley, who also passed the NFL to return for his senior season. Lindley will most likely be assigned the heavy burdon of trying to cover Julio Jones.

Special Teams

Advantage Alabama. Javier Arenas has looked great in the return game this season, and is still looking to get into the endzone. Punter P.J. Fitzgerald has been punting really well this season and has been providing the Alabama defense with good field position. While Tiffin has been a little shaky to start the season, he is still a better kicker than the Wildcats? Lones Seiber (1/2 FG). The area that still concerns me is kickoff coverage (Alabama allowed 2 TD?s in first two games). Alabama will have to sure it up against Kentucky?s Derrick Locke, who already has a 100 yard kickoff return for a touchdown this season.

Alabama should be able to win this game with relative ease. I am interested to see how they play in their first real road game. I see the Tide taking this game 38-7.
