Kentucky

Offense: Kentucky's explosive offense should be able to put up points against a Florida State defense that has surrendered at least 40 points in two of its last three games.
Defense: Stopping the run has been a liability of the Wildcats all season. But the Seminoles have struggled to mount much of rushing attack this season, averaging only 121 yards per game.

Florida St.

Offense: Though the Seminoles ended up averaging 360 yards a game in total offense, the fourth-best total in the league, most of that came on the strength of victories over UAB (520 yards), North Carolina State (381), Duke (534) and Boston College (452). The Seminoles never did mount a consistent running game, averaging only 121 yards a game on the ground and failing to reach triple digits in five of their 12 games.
Defense: The 'Noles ranked in the bottom half of the conference (eighth) in total defense, giving up just a little more than 350 yards a game. Over their last four games, however, they surrendered more than 437 yards an outing. They also were second in the league in red-zone defense, giving up only 19 touchdowns on 38 trips inside the 20-yard line by opponents (plus eight field goals). --

Kentucky (7-5) vs. Florida State (7-5)
Dec. 31st, 4:00 p.m. ET, ESPN

Have you ever wanted to see a depleted team try to pull off a miracle? The 2007 Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl has taken on a car crash sort of a feel with over 30 Florida State players missing the game, but if nothing else, it's a chance to scout Kentucky's Andre Woodson before he goes off to the next level

Kentucky will win if... it gets up early and doesn't let the Noles get any confidence. Attitude will be everything early on for FSU as it mentally plays the us-against-the-world card early on. If it gets any sort of a lead or gets any sort of early success, that might might feed into any overconfidence UK might have. Even if the Noles were at full strength this would've been a good matchup for a UK defense that can't stop the run, has a nice secondary, and an experienced, talented quarterback who doesn't make a lot of mistakes. As long as UK is at least even in the turnover margin, if Woodson outplays Weatherford, or at least plays him even, the Cats will come away with another Music City Bowl win.
Florida State will win if... this gets into a slugfest. The depleted Florida State defense will still be solid, and as long as this doesn't get into a track meet of any kind, the offense should be able to keep pace. That's not to say the Seminole offense will try to control the game on the ground, it'll be throwing from the word go, but it needs to own the clock, keep the chains moving, and keep its defense off the field with an efficient short-to-midrange passing game. FSU simply might not have the depth to handle a tiring battle.

What will happen: Florida State will play hard early, but it won't have the horses to keep up in the second half. The offense is too inconsistent, and the defense too depleted, to win if Kentucky's head is in the game for a full sixty minutes. Andre Woodson will be efficient, and while the UK defense will be average, it'll control the game late with at least two key picks of Drew Weatherford to put it away.

Line: Kentucky -4... CFN Prediction: Kentucky 30 ... Florida State 13

You want to see something very strange go to Vegas Insider. Caesars palace shows the spread at 1.5 pts at sportsbook it is 9.5 pts that is just wierd. If I was a big bettor seems like somebody could work the hedge on that one.

[ConwayGamecock]

Wow....doesn't anybody want to give a mercy bet on FSU?? Lol.....


Cuck, you should've given the 'holes a 10/1 or 20/1 odds, just to get them some play....

It's kind of a reporting error. All the books took the line down when news of the suspensions came out. Before that it was 1.5 to 2 and it you had made a real bet on Kentucky back then you would be in great shape. After the lines went back up Kentucky was a 9 point favorite.

[1SCFanInPAUntilNow]

Fine Ill Do It Im Going With FSU Even Though I Cant Stand Them. A Few Buddies Of Mine Are Big Fans So Ill Go With Them Though Ill Be Pulling For Our SEC Team

[ChucktwnLawCock]
