Kentucky (-1.5) @ South Carolina (O/U 54.5)

Evan: Hopefully, it is evident to everyone that losing both of these games is why MSU is looking for a head coach right now. Kentucky is bad but South Carolina is terrible, their defense would struggle against IMG Academy. Kentucky -1.5

Justin: Kentucky isn’t great, but South Carolina is really bad. Kentucky -1.5

Andrew: I have no reason to give much analysis here. Kentucky is just better. Kentucky -1.5

Ethan: Can we take a step back and figure out how on earth MSU was bad enough to lose to this South Carolina team in the manner that it did? Just, you know, flat-out awful loss. Arguably the worst loss on the schedule and I’m including that befuddling mess that was the 41-point loss to Texas A&M, who is at least very, very talented. Other than that, I have nothing to add to this game. Kentucky is good. South Carolina isn’t. Kentucky -1.5

Ryan: South Carolina won’t be able to cover this small line. Kentucky will bully them and grind them out. Kentucky -1.5

John: This is the line? One and a half points? I thought this was a typo at first. I can’t imagine a way that South Carolina can keep it remotely this close. And you know what that means? Someone in Vegas clearly knows something I don’t. Flush your money down the toilet with me as we go. South Carolina +1.5
