Opened at 7.0-7.5. Down to 4.0 today. Really surprised there’s been so much action on it so far this week
Spread has plummeted

Feeling better about Levis starting would be more of my reasoning.
Stoops said today he hopes to get him back "full strength or near full strength" for Saturday.
Dude, was in street clothes and a boot last Saturday. He won't be near a 100%.
Oh yeah, he's the most sacked QB in the conference already.

The only thing that gives me pause about this game is that it’s a road game at night. Everything else tells me we are the better team and should win by a touchdown or more.
I’m inclined to think its going to be a defensive struggle that doesn’t come that close to the current OU of 48.5. Everyone’s focused on Levis and the UK offense as far as the game expectation. But UK’s defense is Top 20 in the country in total defense and also #32 in yards per play allowed. And we know that our D can be pretty salty.
Seems very much like a 24-17 or 20-14 type game. I think both offenses are going to struggle at times.
Solid defense but so was A&M. And much like A&M, they don’t rush the passer particularly well.
It’s also tough to compare us to anyone else they’ve played. Florida, Ole Miss, and SC are far more run heavy than we are.
That said, both teams are near the top of the league in time of possession. So it’s definitely possible this is a lower scoring game.
We had them at home though. Kentucky will be playing at home and have some juice with Levi's back. They have had their sails taken out after last two weeks though. I doubt they were the same team that they were even at Florida.
This game is more about State than Kentucky. If we play a clean game, they don’t have the juice to beat us. They need us to keep them in the game with self inflicted wounds, because otherwise this is not a good matchup for UK.
It seems we struggle on D with a mobile QB so ok there
It seems we struggle on O with a physical defensive pass rush so ok there
It seems we struggle on O with physical DBs that can play man I think we are ok there
We always struggle kicking FG & XP
It seems we should win but sometimes things aren't what they seem so this line movement has me spooked by how much and fast it's moved.

KY has been a over rated average football team all season. The O line can't pass block. Just look at the number of sacks. The QB makes a lot of Mistakes. Just like last season they are playing a weak schedule. They have a lot of injuries. Their moral is down. Listen to Stoop press conference he looks like a man facing the gas chamber. Two loses in consecutive weeks. They started to listen to the media hype and they have been brought back down to ground. Once this stuff starts it is hard to stop. Then there is Miss State. These guys are playing with fire. They are playing the best they have played in long time. They are hungry. Do I have some worries yes but only because the home team has been winning this game a lot but this KY is not good.
Weather could be a factor. Check the Lexington forecast for Saturday at 6. Rain until 10pm.
i hope it drops more. now i won't hafta work harder at anti-woofing
There’s no question about that. If we bring our A-game, we win going away….Levis or not. Problem is, we rarely bring our full A-game on the road, and we rarely ever bring it 3 games in a row. We’d be doing both if we show up that way on Saturday. So ultimately, there is a high probability that we’re going to have to figure out a way to win without our best effort. The trap game potential is extremely high.
Playing clean is a key role in the game Saturday night. We have done a much better job of not making those big penalties that hurt us the past few weeks, and we need to keep that up.
We need to make them turn over the ball, not us.
We need to make as few mistakes as possible while playing on the road in their house. The perfect game would be to start with good momentum and keep them down like we did last week
State will put up 30+. Kentucky has yet to play against a good QB.
Things have changed since KY won @ UF and we laid an egg @ LSU. Just think what the line woulda been at THAT juncture. KY is already at that "What coulda been" mindset since not beating an Avg SEC team in Oxfart thus the egg just laid at home VS a below avg SEC SC team. I still think AR & A&M are above avg SEC teams and spanking them back to back has us in a "What could be" mindset. I think we are better than them mentally right now and have better athletes overall. STATE 34 (1 missed PAT) KY 24.
This game will be over at halftime.
Listened to this thing called ‘The Blue Sea’ today. It told the Kentucky fans that the only reason we beat A&M and Arkansas was that we were playing only backup QBs.
(I distinctly remember that last year we pick off Levis three times and ****canned him on his *** numerous times.) Their fan blog stated ‘with Levis back, Kentucky victory was all but assured.’ Hell, fellas, we are backing the wrong team.

Getting 7 points at home in the sec is why.
i took Kentucky and 7. I can’t lose and I may win twice.
I remember how confident everyone was that we were going to beat LSU.
Nothing is a given, and nothing is ever over at halftime, thankfully for us at Auburn last year.

Holy crap at the wool in here. And I’m one of the Leach supporters.
This is a road game in the SEC against a decent team. Makes me wonder how many of y’all have ever watched SEC football before.
Going to be closer than we want it to be. Their crowd will be loud. Be ready. But, we all know that many of you won’t be, and you’ll be right here bitching about coaching.
i see some saying their wind has been knocked out of them. That stuff changes weekly in college football. We beat aTm on their field last year and one week later they beat Alabama on the same field, with an even livelier crowd. Shouldn’t they have been subdued?
again. Get ready for a war.

I predicted a loss to LSU. Kentucky is fools gold. They are not a good team especially with all the injuries.
Guys, it’s a 20 percent chance of showers for Saturday night. Y’all are acting like it’s going to be a monsoon.
I think it’ll be a tight game but their offensive line is paper thin. We should be able to get to Levis and shake him up a bit. Our offense is what makes me nervous yes we’ve been firing on all cylinders but if they disappear for a quarter we’re screwed.
And this the best team since 2014 to play there too.
They will play hard. They are backed into a corner because of the USC loss. But Levis will be less than a 100% playing behind the worst OL in the SEC and third worst in FBS. The worst? That's the Akron Zips.
