College football is less than two weeks away and Las Vegas has updated the betting lines for kickoff week.

Kentucky was once a 7.5 point favorite over the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles, but that line now set at 6.5 points for the 7:30 PM game on September 3rd at Commonwealth Stadium.

Doesn't look like the odds makers are believing in the cats improvement very much? [Eek!]

I would take those odds and bet on the Cats for that game.

Me too. I know southern Miss. has a decent team but I don't think they are that good.

Front seven for Cats is a huge concern and question mark. The offense should score at will against USM's defense. I'm looking for a 14-17 point win for the Cats. Will be disappointed if it's closer than that.

I think EC is right on and playing at Commonwealth will be a big factor.

I'll just be happy with the win!

I don't think their is a Cat fan out there that wouldn't be a happy with a win. I am hopping we can get a few SEC wins this season too.

It wasn't a good game for the Cats and the SEC games are going to be a "whole" lot tougher.

I have a good friend who is an old fashioned bookie and he said all the money on the game went on So Miss with the points. I guess the professional gamblers know more about our talent than our coaches and the odds makers do.

Sure surprised me. I had a thought that we would pull it out at the last second and win by a point. But when you can't do anything on the field you don't win. I thought since Stoops had hired new offensive coachs he could last at least thru next year even if we had a bad year. Now my thoughts are if we have a worse season than we had last year the whole staff could be in the unemployment line by December 2016.

The So Miss offensive coordinator was the same one Stoops fired from UK after last season wasn't he???

Yes, the same guy. He knew our defense very well, and had several plays ready to burn us when he saw our formations. That was a key advantage they had over us, but basically, they just whipped us in the trenches and ran the ball down our throats.
