South Carolina at Kentucky

It has been a long tough road in the SEC for Kentucky. They put together a few competitive years, but simply have not been very competitive for quite some time. They will be challenged by a good South Carolina team that has already faced A&M, Georgia, and Missouri and comes in at 3-2. Then add in power offense East Carolina for good measure - a team they held to 23 points as defense looks to be the key to this game. Kentucky simply does not have the offensive weapons to compete favorably in the SEC at this point, but they have been impressive defensively, holding their four opponents to 15 points per game. The Wildcats' defense has come up biggest when they are off a spread loss at 7-2 to the UNDER in their last nine. And when playing at home where the defense has risen to the occasion, they are 10-3 to the UNDER in their last 13 here. Play on the UNDER.
