CTG Regular
Ended up 5-6 and -3.45 on sides and 10-6 and +11.9 in second half plays, so hard to bitch about a solid 8.5 unit winner.
Got Louisville tonight +6 for a medium play. I'm sticking with the Cards despite being dead wrong last week (wow, Houston QB and coach get big upgrades from me from here on out). It's a short week, which is always an edge to the home team especially in college, and Petrino will try to rally the troops as the Cards finish the toughest first-three game opening stretch in the country. He's only lost three straight once in his college coaching career and never lost four in a row.
The big concern about betting the Cards is that Watson is a mobile quarterback, and certainly more higher-touted than the Houston kid last week who broke contain and made plays right and left against the surprisingly inept Cardinal defense. Is three days enough to shore up the holes? As the schedule starts to soften, i really think U of L's defense can dominate against just about everyone else on the schedule not named Florida State after tonight.
Clempson's QB had his own problems vs U of L last year before they knocked him out and injured him in Death Valley (2-for-6, minus 5 yards with a pick). The Tigers O-line that starts tonight came into the season with a combined six starts before 2015. Not a good thing against this U of L D-line. The class differential for CU tonight will be eye-popping. Many of these young Fighting Dabos will be playing their first road game in a fairly hostile venue against a team that is significantly better than either of their first two foes.
The teams combined to go 3-33 last year on third down. U of L's offense should have more success this time around against a revamped Clempson defense, but the Cards should have the edge again on defense tonight; the Tiger have no real weapons here outside of the QB that particularly impressed me when I watched the 1H of their first two games.
I made U of L the small favorite. It was a no-brainer bet at +6 or better (see post 45 in the major line moves thread; i actually had some 6.5 and took the rest at 6 as i was hoping for 7 and it never popped of course) and isn't a bad bet at +4.5 or better.
Prediction: U of L 31, Clempson 17
The play: U of L +6 medium to big 2.5u Would bet 2u at +4.5 or better.
Back with the rest manana!
GL tonight.
