00:00 More SEC talk 12 noon kickoff here.
00:02 It's Florida and Kentucky and it felt like for decades,
00:04 no chance Kentucky ever had a chance to beat Florida.
00:07 They've actually won now two straight games
00:10 against the Gators.
00:10 This line opened up at minus one and a half
00:12 at the FanBlue Sportsbook market.
00:14 We still see a minus one and a half
00:16 and a low total opening up at 47 and a half,
00:18 now down to 44 and a half and some 44s
00:21 out there in the market space.
00:23 You take a look at this game and it's interesting
00:24 because usually when you see an SEC team work
00:27 at four and oh, where are they ranked?
00:28 Five, 10, 15, at least in the top 20.
00:31 That's not the case for Kentucky.
00:32 Four cupcakes on their schedule and quite frankly,
00:35 Leary, the transfer quarterback,
00:37 hasn't looked all that good.
00:38 Nine touchdown passes along with five interceptions.
00:41 What are we looking at here from Florida and Kentucky
00:43 from your perspective?
00:45 - Well, you may have missed the best of the number here
00:47 because certain shops opened up Florida as a three-point dog
00:51 and I'm kicking myself for not jumping on it
00:53 when I did.
00:54 As soon as I saw it, I circled Florida,
00:56 money line, outright winner.
00:58 This is absolutely a spot where the Florida Gators
01:01 remind Kentucky that they're Kentucky and we're Florida.
01:04 This defense that Billy Napier has built
01:06 is not only really good, it's very, very good.
01:09 I mean, they're only giving up 162 passing yards per game.
01:12 That's not a good sign for Devin Leary,
01:14 who as you said, has not played well
01:17 and has not played a defense worth a stink
01:19 this entire year and yet he's still thrown five picks
01:22 in four games.
01:23 This sets up horribly for Kentucky.
01:25 I don't like the matchup for them here.
01:27 I don't know if they're gonna be able to run
01:28 with any real measure of success against Florida.
01:31 Graham Burch doesn't have to be great.
01:33 He just has to take care of the football
01:35 and not hurt his team, similar to what he did
01:38 against Tennessee and he should be okay here.
01:40 I think Florida wins this game outright.
