PICKING South Carolina at Kentucky | Shane Beamer, Lanorris Sellers vs Brock Vandagriff, Mark Stoops

here's one where we don't know how the story ends this is a fascinating game to me Ari South Carolina goes to Kentucky Kentucky is a nine and a half Point favorite at home SEC opener for both teams Kentucky looked very good against Southern Miss and the Brock Vandergriff debut game South Carolina looked very iffy against Old Dominion in the Lenora sers debut game yet I'm not sure anything we saw this past Saturday will inform what we're going to see this Saturday yeah um Kentucky was kind of cooking with uh with with jet fuel on Saturday they they got they won 31 to nothing and I think basically the entire second half of their game was canceled so um that's really encouraging but like the thing that I always have a hard time with Andy is how much can you extrapolate from South Carolina's game like do you think South Carolina was sleepwalking it was a tough opener they were knocking the r off they're much better than than they showed or do you think um and this is a problem we had when picking the Michigan game like that the Fresno State game and South Carolina's tough uh opener tell you anything about what that team is going to be like I I struggle with that a lot in week in week two like Old Dominion almost beating them does that a to you a symptom of a problem that's going to be exposed on Saturday or do you think we're going to get a really good sec game against two teams fired up to take a step forward this year prize pick is the best daily Fantasy game in America use that code Staples play $5 get $50 instantly and so let's let's take us back to Saturday I was using a demon square with Quinn ERS and Sam lit so Quinn eers was playing as Colorado State I knew he was going to have a good game my question was will it be too good and he gets pulled really early and then Sam Levitz the the Arizona State quarterback and obviously he had a good game but at that point it didn't matter because Quinn yers got pulled just before he could go more than 299 and a half yards the the demon squares on prize picks those are a little more difficult to get but the potential payout is higher that's how prize picks work you you pick squares and you say I think this person's going to do more than this or less than this you pick at least two you go as high as five and the more you pick the higher the potential payout I did win one though I did win one though I went Dylan Rola more than two 235 a half passing yards Lenoris sers the South Carolina quarterback more than 40 and a half rushing yards and Nick Singleton the Penn State running back more than 0.5 rushing or receiving touchdowns so that one $50 play wins you 250 bucks that's how prize picks work it is so much fun it it really livens up a Saturday or a Sunday NFL obviously I mean or any day because they've got everything they have gaming like League of Legends like they've got all of it so you download Prix now play $5 get $50 instantly with the code Staples uh they've got the they've got the free squares uh it's a Caleb Williams free square right now for the first NFL games this week where it's basically more than 0.5 passing yards so if you pick that one you're going to get that square as long as Caleb Williams completes one pass and I think he's probably going to complete a few so download that prize pick app use the code Staples also there there may be a little Styles make fights in this thing because would you agree that South Carolina probably didn't have a better team than Kentucky the last two years and yet Shane Beamer beat Mark stops the last two years it's sort and then Mark St Mark stops has that with Billy Napier at Florida where his style just they they're better than Florida at that style but for whatever reason and Stoops has said some things about Shane Beamer and Shane Beamer has fired back after beating him the last two years so I don't know where to go with this one Ari that I think I do know where to go this because nine and a half is so many freaking points yeah I mean I'm taking South Carolina just because it's a pretty big spread and that's the only reason yeah I I and I also too like our boy Cody bolair I really really like Lenor sers I think that he's a person that can create and problem solve and ex extend drives and do things that you know help your team find some points and I'm not necessarily sure I'm going to overreact to the Old Dominion game especially because old dominion over the years has proven that they can hang with with teams early in the season from the P5 P4 and um really be a pain in their ass so like I think that Kentucky is probably going to win the game I like Kentucky to win it I don't know if they're going to win by double digits yeah that's the thing the only reason I'm taking South Carolina is that spread is so high I do think Kentucky is's goingon to win this I like their Playmakers I like I like the the the offense they've built around Brock Vander I I think it's going to be a lot of fun to watch these guys this year and they also strike me as a team that can beat somebody down the road where you're not expecting it it's just that I I I really struggle with when you've got conference opponents that have fairly similar Talent levels and you have one favored by almost d double digits this almost an automatic pick for me yeah and Kentucky has some pretty big uh stuff coming up down the pike here I mean the the onew punch with Ohio is a spacer there but Georgia and at Old Miss is kind of a tough situation so you want and they play Georgia right after this game right that's what I'm saying so you want to if you're a Kentucky fan to at least get off to a good start get the 2 and 0 and and try to feel good going into the Georgia game I think that they will win the game I just don't know if I'm at the point right now where I'm like Kentucky is just going to kick everyone's ass that isn't Georgia and Alabama on their schedule you know what I mean like I think that they still have some physical limitations that teams that South Carol I can match up with thank you so much for watching just a reminder subscribe to this channel right here so you never miss an
