Rotation #258
Kentucky +4.5 over Clemson (win)
Kentucky/Clemson Over 44.5 (win)
Kentucky is a good football team with a solid offensive line and an outstanding running back in Ray Davis. The Wildcats have a veteran QB in Devin Leary and many good receivers. Clemson has a lot of players bolting to the NFL and will be short-handed today. The Tigers will be shuffling their offensive line as players are in the transfer portal and getting ready for the NFL draft. The Tigers still have a run game and will get on the scoreboard due to the lack of depth Kentucky has in the secondary. The Wildcats have fewer transfers and are preparing for this game at full strength. The wrong team might be favored. Take Kentucky and the Over.

Rotation #259-260
Oregon State/Notre Dame Under 41.5 (loss)
The weather in Memphis could be better, and both teams need more offensive players. Oregon State will bring in a new quarterback as DJ Ulagalelei transferred. The Beavers also lost many quality receivers. Notre Dame starts a new QB as Sam Hartman bolts to the NFL. The Irish lost about every significant receiver to the draft and transfer portal. Both defenses should be ahead of the offense to make it a defensive battle. Look for a lower-scoring game. Take the Under.
