Alabama (-35) over Kentucky, Saturday 6:00 PM (CT), Bryant Denny Stadium

Alabama enters the game a little banged up with several of the Tide starters questionable to play. That won’t matter though as Bama could likely get way with playing their 3rd stringers against Kentucky. Kentucky got a much-needed win over South Carolina last week, but they still haven’t improved much since the first week of the season. That doesn’t bode well facing a night game in Bryant Denny.

At this point, Mark Stoops may be coaching for his job. While no one expects him to upset Bama, keeping it close would go a long way toward showing that the Wildcats are improving. With that being said, keeping it close in this game is definitely subjective. The Wildcats will be very fortunate if they’re able to put 10 points on the board. Alabama 49, Kentucky 6
