A standout game for us here at Gambling911.com is a Saturday 3:30 pm EST affair in College Football:  Kentucky vs. Louisville.  This is the Gambling911.com Betting Edge.

We see that the online sportsbooks have a strong enough opinion on Kentucky not to move the line off the -3.

That’s interesting because action on this game is so lopsided in Kentucky’s favor at a near 90 percent clip.

It’s not always easy for oddsmakers to move much off the number “3”.

We only saw a move off the -3 Friday and, strangely enough, it was enticing even further action on Kentucky.

A recent meeting in this series had Kentucky winning by just 4 points.  Prior to 2006, Louisville had dominated in this series.

Louisville offensive coordinator Mike Sanford told the Louisville Courier that the days of anemic production are gone, keeping in mind that last season’s 18.1 points per game ranked dead last in the Big East.

 “I'm not going to say how many points we're going to score, but I expect to score more, when you talk about the whole year, than this team scored last year,” Sanford said. “And I expect us to be an attacking, explosive offense.”
