Good for me on sitting out those first two games of the week. Leaned to fave Tues and dog last night... but numbers were close to mine and I wasn't interested in Fresno cause they ain't covered since last year.....
Last week eeked out another minor profit thanks to Eastern Mich and Tennessee. Big bets now 13-3 this year on Saturdays... And still only one losing week this year.
Been looking forward to this one since June. Louisville and WV both come in unblemished. The Cards haven't won the style points or are winning with the same pizazz as the Mounties but the 'Git R Dun' mentality of both coaches coming in has been nice.
Each team has had 12 days to prep for this one so I expect a lot of offensive things that neither team has seen from the other at this point. Rust would be the only thing keeping me off the 'OVER' here.
Most people back home seem to think the differences between the two teams are razor-thin. Even without Bush, I don't think so. (Rumor has it, by the way, that he is going to lead them out of the tunnel tonight. If that happens, the roof might blow off the Pizza Palace.)
Turnovers are my only concern with backing the Cards. It's going to be cold, with the wind chill below 30 at kickoff. That could adversely affect Brohm and his sore thumb. But if the running backs don't cough it up (they have been) then I think U of L is just flat better.
It will help playing at home, as that place gets really loud. The Cards have only lost one home game under Petrino, the Memphis game near the end of the 2003 season. That will be a major factor, I believe.
I don't forsee too much line movement here, even if Dr. Bob or Billy get involved - you won't have to lay more than a point or two with either side. Three seems impossible unless you buy. But there's no need to. This ain't falling anywhere near the number. It won't live to the hype because WV is up against it. They are playing a pissed-off opponent with revenge and it's in Louisville. That is enough there to get it done.
Prediction: Louisville 38, West Virginia 20
THe play: Cards PICK for a big bet
