Louisville Favored by 9.5 over NC State

General NCS Football20

College lines are out for this weekend.

I know that you will think that I am crazy…but, before the Clemson game I stated that “we will win one of our next two games.”

Well, it^ obviously wasn’t Clemson. So, it is going to have to be a surprise against Louisville.

    Hmm…if I were a betting man, I’d have to put my money, and lots of it, on Louisville.

    I don’t know which way I’d go on this one. I think we’ll lose, but we might end up beating the spread. As bad as we are, Hooville isn’t much better.

    Louisville’s defense is on a roll: they’ve reduced their points allowed from 42 to 40 and last game, they only gave up 38 🙂

    Louisville will surely score 40+ on us, the question will be how well we will be able to move it, and then cash in, on them.

    We all know that if we score more than 24 we win, so I’m going to go with Louisville in a blowout! 😉

    This game fascinates me. Louisville appears to field one of the worst defenses I’ve ever been aware of… I mean, when I’ve watched them, their technique has made the Pack’s worst defenses look like the freakin’ Bears. We SHOULD be able to score, and score often – it’s just hard to imagine us doing that to anyone.

    I don’t think we can score more points than them… They could score 40..can we score more than 40?

  8. Elrod 09/23/2007 at 10:55 PM #

    Bet the house on the UNDER. That means Louisville has to score at least 87.

    Brohm lit up Syracuse for 555 yards passing.

    Imagine what he will do to Archer’s defense, which fears the notion of QB pressure and routinely has DBs roaming the secondary out of position and bewildered.

    Louisville reminds me of the 2003 Rivers senior team. Stunningly brilliant offense but equally horrific defense.

    They are going to tee off on us, mark it down. The Georgia Tech/Cumberland 220-0 record rout may yet fall.

    /\ lol, GT won’t have to sweat out its record this week, that zero is an important part of the 222. And if Louisville shuts us out, its a sure sign of the Apocolypse. The problem they have had is stopping the run, MTSU’s smallish slow RBs looked like the Clemson duo versus us. And trust me, they aren’t close in real life. I would not be surprised to see a blowout either way. Andre Brown may run for 200 yards. Beck may throw for 500. I’ll take that spread, and it is not impossible for the Pack to beat this team. Matter of fact, I’m kind of expecting them to.

    “Imagine what he will do to Archer’s defense, which fears the notion of QB pressure and routinely has DBs roaming the secondary out of position and bewildered.”

    Just out of curiousity, who exactly is it that is supposed to be bringing pressure with our defense?

  12. Great Dane Guy 09/24/2007 at 1:09 PM #

    What happened to our secondary that held Ryan and BC to like 150 yards passing? I thought that was our teams strength? If the secondary shows up, and the O can hack, cough, and sputter to 25 points, we can cover the spread.

  13. bTHEredterror 09/24/2007 at 1:26 PM #

    /\ BC realized we couldn’t stop the run more than anything else. Plus thay had 2-3 score lead most of the second half, so why throw and extend the game?

  14. EverettBeez 09/24/2007 at 2:45 PM #

    didn’t BC drop several passes as well?

    I am afraid L’ville win this one, but it will be u-g-l-y, and I don’t know our alibi.

    well, yeah I do know it, but the chant sounded better phrased that way.

    “Just out of curiousity, who exactly is it that is supposed to be bringing pressure with our defense?”

    As the DEs and LBs are incapable of penetrating the line of scrimmage, perhaps we can blitz a DB off the corner every once in a blue moon.

    Lord knows they aren’t covering anyone, anyway.

    You cannot let a guy like Brohm sit back and throw darts all afternoon. Somehow we have to get some pressure on the QB.

  16. LRM 09/24/2007 at 9:04 PM #

    I’m confused. Is 9.5 the spread or the over/under on how many TDs Brohm will throw?

  17. bTHEredterror 09/25/2007 at 4:56 AM #

    I watched Syracuse against Washington and parts of the Iowa game, and ANYBODY they scored 38 points on, is beatable. Our D will HAVE to get some TOs, and hopefully more of the push they showed in the early 3rd quarter. At least they started getting their hands up while they were getting the stonewall treatment.

    i’m dying to be optimistic – after all, hasn’t louisville been exposed by two losses, one to an awful team?

    but then there’s that #1 total yards stat. anything’s possible, but TOB would have to a pull a rabbit out of his hat to outscore louisville

  19. LRM 09/25/2007 at 9:31 AM #

    I think you meant TOB would have to pull a Philip Rivers out of his hat.

  20. john of sparta 09/26/2007 at 8:12 PM #

    9.5? This is Louisville. take the Cardinals.
    this could be a 55 to 42 loss.
