Last week I missed the suggested wager on Louisville -6.5, but did correctly advise people to stay away from the total over bet, which ended up not hitting. On to this week:
This game has Over written all Over it. You think Louisville's defense has been bad giving up over 30 points per game? Try Syracuse's D, they are almost at 40 points per game allowed!
Louisville is going to be fired up for the start of the Big East schedule, especially coming off of a loss in the in state rivalry game, and returning to the home field. To put it bluntly, Syracuse is walking right into the snake pit.
I would say that Illinois and Louisville's defense are about on par with one another, so you can probably expect similar offensive numbers from the Orangemen in this game. Louisville's offense however is at a whole other level compared to what Syracuse saw last week, so we can expect more points out of this pissed off Cardinal team.
Think about it. Syracuse gave up 41 and 42 points to Illinois and Washington respectfully, and neither one of those teams have an offense that is as good as the Cardinals. They gave up 35 points to Iowa, whose offense has looked pretty horrible for much of the first 3 weeks!
I fully expect the Cards to come out swinging in this game, and not let up until its over. They have something to prove, and they will light the scoreboard up at Cardinal Stadium this Saturday.
Final Score:
Louisville 59, Syracuse 24
So as far as my suggestion, I would say lay off of the line unless it somehow dips below 35, and pound the over 62 for a medium to large sized bet. I put 2 units on the over.
Good Luck to everyone this week!
