Thursday Night

I have done a lot of soul searching this week and I am going to roll out a strategy I have used before to get through some tough times, in the meantime, I do have a conventional straight wager for Thursday. This is one of my favorite match-ups of the season, I like both teams a lot. Earlier this season I rolled out the thought that I was going to try to become a So. Car. fan, going as far as requesting and receiving a Cocks jersey as a birthday present. I then promptly went out and bet against them, and I'm doing it again this week. Kentucky is poor on defense, but I just do not think a Chris Smelley led offense can exploit that defense to the extent I know Andre Woodson will exploit a JASper Brinkley-less USC defense. Kentucky just seems to care about the ball a bit more and is more dynamic at the same time. Woodson should be the Heisman front-runner right now and this nationally televised game should act as an introduction to some of the voters. I think the game will be very competitive, but Kentucky makes the plays and doesn't make the mistakes. Kent (+3.5) 33 So. Car. 27 [3$].
