That's a team projected to win Over/Under 3.5 games.....

I didn't get a chance to watch Bama a lot yesterday.

Anyone who is interested in Alabama, did they look good moving forward or are there some major concerns?

I thought Alabama looked pretty good. Defense was great other than a couple of coverage busts. Offense was a bit sloppy at times, but there are a lot of new starters on offense. We ran the ball well for a large part of the game. Pass protection needs to improve. I think as they gel they should get better.

I assumed Kentucky would be at least 17-20 point dogs against a team like Bama...

10.5? That's sounds they expect Kentucky to come out swinging.

I think many pundits expect Kentucky to be much improved from what they have been. Bama under DeBoer has also started slow the last couple of seasons. Put those two things together and you get a lower-than-expected spread.

Bama deserves no respect until they earn it. They got their pants pulled down last year on national TV.

Early season SEC play is tough, even Kentucky. Hell, especially Kentucky. In 2024, they lost to UGA on a last second field goal and upset Ole Miss the next week, both games in September.

The KY QB is for real. Dude has great passing accuracy and looked fully in control even in tight coverage. They have some skill players for sure. The matchup will be the KY D-line VS the Bama O-line.

Alabama looked good IMO. Oline started off shaky but settled in. Hard to tell with such a talent disparity. But they looked solid.

A lot? We have 61 new players and only one starter returning on offense, which is the WR that drops half his passes.

We looked good considering, but Kentucky is always a formidable opponent that you have to prepare and plan for.

Yes, they looked good. The QB is similar to Chambless

Makes sense, they'd beat Clemson by about 40.

Bama’s QB is slippery as frick and looks to be a better passer than Milroe. He’s just a little raw. You can tell he will improve as the season goes. Didn’t get to see the UK game but saw the stats and they were pretty impressive. I’ll definitely be tuned in for that one this Saturday. Should be entertaining.

Redshirt freshman QB in his first road game and DeBoer is known for laying unexpected eggs on the road against unranked teams (@FSU and @USC last year).

I think Kentucky is vastly improved from last year personally as well but we will see.
