Kentucky +2 over Ole Miss
Ole Miss has young wide receivers, a inexperienced starting quarterback and a banged up starting center going against a Kentucky Defense that can hold its own. The Wildcats are not the best offensive team, but they have great depth on the offensive line. Ole Miss does not have a good defense and I expect the Kentucky to put up some points today at home. Take the Wildcats
WUNDERDOG
Boston at Toronto
Pick: Boston -110
The defending champs got their offense going the last game with a 5-3 win over Ottawa. They haven't played many road games and this is an excellent challenge against a Toronto team that is 5-0-1 at home. We saw how this team responds to challenges back in the spring. This is a tough situational handicapping spot for the Maple Leafs, home after a brutal stretch playing seven of the last eight on the road. The Maple Leafs are 16-35 in their last 51 in the third game of a three-in-four situation. There's nothing wrong with the Bruins' defense, which led them to the Cup last year, currently ranked 13th in goals against and 12th in penalty killing. And there is outstanding depth and talent on this team. By contrast, Toronto has been relying on offense thus far, 23rd in goals against with an awful penalty killing unit ranked 30th. And the Bruins are 6-2 in their last eight after scoring five goals or more in their previous game. Play the Bruins!
