This is Live Bet Saturday on VSiN, the SportsBetting Network.

Brad Taylor (0:16)

From the mid-gaming hall here in Franklin, Kentucky, it is the top of the hour, and we are watching football here on VSiN, the SportsBetting Network. I am Brad Taylor, you can follow me on Twitter, at, not, at, Brad, bottom line, Lex, and you can follow our co-host, Will Hill. You can follow him at, not, the Will Hill, two E's in that V. We are watching college football, and it's got us all flustered here, as, yes, Kentucky has scored on Alabama. I never thought I'd say that without laughing, but I'm not laughing today. It is now seven nothing.

Kentucky is leading Alabama, although Alabama is putting a little bit of a drive together right now, it looks like.

Current live betting line, we talked about this early, right before the break, can Alabama have the ball, zero, zero, their side of the field? You could have gotten Kentucky at 10 and a half, like you always could have right now. Kentucky a five and a half point underdog to Alabama here. Bama still minus five and a half, total 51 and a half. Your thoughts on getting the best of it here now, Will? Do we maybe look at Alabama? Is there driving on Kentucky? Your thoughts on Alabama, Kentucky?

Will Hill (1:20)

No, I mean, I'm not. I don't feel a need to try to shoot for a middle this early. If you took the best number with Kentucky, you're in good shape, and even if you didn't, you had a chance live, that thing got to 10, 10 and a half for just a couple of plays. And then you saw, for anyone watching the game, that's one of the better plays you're ever going to see by a defensive lineman on third and long. He gets his hands up, he tips a pass.

He times it perfectly to tip it. He catches it and then after the catch, he extends it beautifully, just so athletically and so gracefully done. Sticks it over the goal line. Just a big man picked six and a really impressive performance here. But, Bama is coming right back down to the field. Like you said, they got a first down. They're in Kentucky territory. And it looks like they're going to be deeper in Kentucky territory because after completion, we have a face mask on Big Blue Nation and it's going to be Bama.

I'd say maybe on the red zone, fringe of the red zone. I can't see where that penalty happened, but Bama is going to be in good shape here. That's a hell of a feat. He ripped the face mask. That wasn't a GP. That was a legitimate call. So first and 10 for Bama, 7.3 left. It is Kentucky 7 It's Bama nothing, but I got a feeling here Bama is about to punch one in. So we might be in for some fireworks here today, Brad.

Brad Taylor (2:37)

And being growing up in Kentucky and then moving back in my adulthood. Yeah, this is as fired up as I've ever seen the Big Blue Nation for a football game. And that's saying that's, you know, Kentucky, Kentucky football hasn't been much, but that's saying something is it's a fumble. We got a fumble.

Will Hill (2:53)

I Kentucky hold that thought Kentucky ball Russell got hit. And remember young kid hasn't played making his first start on the road. SEC. That's not an easy. I mean, you know that Brad on the road of the SEC. That's a different ball game. Oh, yeah. He's looked a little flustered here. He had to do the interception for the touchdown. He got a penalty, I think, on grounding earlier. And right now, let's see what happened. He just holds on to the ball. He can't really make a decision and it comes loose. I mean, that's on him. He just wasn't protecting the ball. He looked indecisive. I don't know if it was a busted play, but either way, it's a fumble and it's Kentucky ball. And I would imagine if they're not the favorite here without looking at the line, it's about maybe a pick them because you got like an 8.5, 9-point dog, but you're up 7-0, you got the ball, and you can take that pregame number and throw it out the window. I'd imagine we're right around to pick them here.

Brad Taylor (3:42)

You would be close, but Alabama is still the favorite of DraftKings. Minus 2.5 right now is Bama right now. You got to lay a little juice, minus 120 juice with Alabama at minus 2.5. So you can get Kentucky right now plus 2.5, total 48.5 here.
