    One Play I LOVE --- SYRACUSE + 7 1/2
    Just can't pass up spots like this where I am getting the better team and more than a touchdown handicap. This line of 7 1/2 is just way too high. Even with the game being played at Louisville I call this a PK game.

    Folks, bluntly put LOUISVILLE SUCKS. This team does not have a single impressive win all year long. Their 3 wins have come against Indiana State, Southern Miss by 2, and Arkansas State by 8. Syracuse has at least beaten Northwestern, the team that knocked off top 5 unbeaten Iowa. Syracuse also played Minnesota to a 3 point loss.

    Both teams come in with remarkably similar numbers. They are both 0-4 in the Big East, both 3-6 overall. Louisville is -67 on score differential, while Syracuse is -73. Very close numbers. The big difference that sticks out to me is that Syracuse has played a terribly stronger schedule. It seems that the Orange is playing a juggernaut every week.

    Syracuse lost by 3 to Minnesota, by 21 to Cincinatti, by 21 to West Virginia, and by 27 to Pitt. There is just no way I see Louisville beating this team be even a fraction of those totals as Louisville is not near as good as those teams.

    Similar opponents - Last week Pitt Beat Syracuse 37-10 at Pitt. Pitt beat Louisville 35-10 at Louisville. Syracuse lost by 21 to Cincinatti while Louisville lost by 31 in that game.

    Louisville has only one win of this many points all year and even that win makes me think Syracuse is the play in this game. Louisville did beat Indiana State 30-10. The next 3 games Indiana State played, they lost 31-0, 41-0, and 28-0 all against sub division teams that most people have never heard of. In fact, during that month, the only points Indiana State scored was the 10 points against Louisville. Indiana State has been shut out 5 times and held to 7 or less 7 times this year.

    At the QB position Syracuse has a massive advantage. Greg Paulus has got it going now in his first year as starting QB. He has 144 completions in 211 attempts for 1500 yards and 10 TD's. The 2 Louisville Qb's cant touch that. Louisville QB Will Stein has 43 completions in 78 attempts for 0 TD, while their other QB Froman is 62-97 with 3 TD's and 3 INT's.

    Paulus Numbers have been pretty decent against some very good defenses, and this week he will be seeing the second worst defense that he has faced all season long. I think he will have a big day along with running back Delonte Carter.
    honestly, I think Syracuse wins this game but i am feeling really good win the + 7 1/2 so that is the play.


    Good Luck ( Unless you fade me )

      they dont suck. They have been losing to great teams all year.

      Louisville is a massive step down in competition here and I think the Orange wins this game.

                You're a moron...they just hung in there with West Virginia and now they're coming back home to play against the worst qb in college football...

                Louisville 37
                Syracuse 20

                  what's with the hostility? There's no reason to call him a moron for voicing his opinion on a forum, ease off guy... sheesh

                    Way to have Nobs back GoldRush. You are right, that unprovoked shit is uncalled for. As for the game, I am going to look into it. I know both teams kinda blow but thinking the points might be the way to go as a guess at this point.

                        Bottom line....Louisville shouldn't be a giving a touchdown to any Div I team in college football. I'm not a fan of Syracuse, but any team with a record like Louisville's will have covering a spread that high.

                        If I had to make a bet. I would take the Orange-men.

                        Still..not sure if I'll be betting this game.

                          Thanks everyone.

                          I agree angelo, Louisville sucks this year.

                          And why would I buy 1/2 point, the line was 7 1/2 when I posted this.

                            i dont trust either team, but getting 7.5 with two bottom feeders is usually a good thing

                                Lol. Looking like you're the moron. Louisville going to score 37 points ????



                                They might have 37 total yards at halftime.

                                                    Good call man. Saved the hell out of me with that last drive and then the game sealing pick...That was a close one

                                                        Very good call. I am suprised Loiusville was favored by this much.
