...going to be closer than expected? Well, this is not an "I told you so" in any shape or form. I just went with my gut on that, as did some other people.
I'm going with my gut again this week. Shoot me some opinion here gang.
I want to take Kentucky +22 but I just can't do it. Here's the thing; after the game with the Vols people are talking Florida "down". I know that most years any sane fan would take Florida to cover by essentially a 3-touchdown margin and not look back. Up until a week ago, that would not have changed. Here's the argument; Florida is vulnerable and UK looks a lot better than last year. Kentucky hangs in and makes it a closer game than expected, due to their improvement and the fact that it's a home game, right?
I just keep shaking my head. I agree that Kentucky is improving. I agree that Florida looks a little beatable right now. The fact that it's a home game for the cats almost has me ready to pull the trigger in UK's favor. But I just can't pull the trigger. Something has me thinking that this is when a team like Florida, with Tebow and Meyer are most deadly. I think that UT game, the way it transpired, and the aftermath, has Meyer and company eating nails right now. I think there's a pride issue here and something that needs to be proven. UK might just be the sacrificial lamb on the alter too.
I know that Florida is not that same Florida team as last year. They lack some explosiveness in the receiving corps. I do not expect them to nut up like they did after the Ole Miss loss last season and just go psychopath from here on out. But I'm not sure I can bet against them either. This is one of those games where I just have the feeling that Florida got their little feelings hurt and their pride damaged and someone is gonna have he** to pay for it.
Not sure how they're going to do it, but I'm taking Florida in a route this weekend. I might be way wrong on this one, but that's my story.
