any guesses for the line on this game? I'll say Rutgers +11.

Marked for ownage.

I was mocked pre-season for just saying "hey, watch UL...they're gonna be pretty good."

Rutgers is playing well, but I don't think they are on the same level. Eitherway this coverage is great. GO CARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As to any doubters, UL paid big bucks to keep coach Petrino for many years. We are commited to building a strong college football program (we have no pro).

Errr...do you know how betting lines work?

Go to this page and look up the line for the Michigan v. Ball State game - Text

You'll notice that it says:

"Ball State +34
Michigan -34"

Do you really think BetUS.com thinks Ball State's gonna ruin Michigan that bad?

Anyway, +11 is close to what I'd guess...just so we're different, I'll say +10--the same margin Louisville beat WVU by

thank you! someone with some bit of manliness in them. +11 means I think the vegas odds makers are gonna say that Louisville should win the game by 11 points. we will see if I was close or not next week.

 

[Brackis]

BCS polls are out... Rutgers at #13.. Louisville at #3!!!!

I'm shocked to see the biggest spread @ 7... I will be rooting for Rutgers and think they have the talent, but I was assuming the concensus would be a blowout victory for Louisville based on their average points per game.

 

[SP33Demon]

Day of! Time to put up or shut up for these guys.

Louisville 41-17 over rutgers.

Louisville can't play defense....Rutgers will score more than 17 on them.

 

[Brackis]

Kickoff in just 6 hours! This game seems to be getting a lot less hyper than the WVU-UL game

While I'm a bit surprised, you have to remember that point spreads have nothing to do with who they think will win the game. What the point spread tries to do is create a 50/50 split of the bettors and then the bookies collect the juice.

rutgers will win!

Correct, but I think the general concensus, which I do not agree with, is a double digits double TD + win for UL.

what? 8th ranked defense in college football.

 

[Otaking]

Go Scarlet Knights! But I think Louisville will win...

 

[Juno]

teams scoring forced/allowed:

#3 louisville: 39.375/15.25 points
#15 rutgers: 29.25/9.125 points

hard to tell but i'm still rooting for rutgers! go scarlet knights!

 

[fallenangel99]

I'm a Rutgers Alumn, but Louisville will win Rutgers does not have a passing game at all. Their defense will keep it close, but Louisville will just explode

Wow that's impressive... dunno if they have the DB's to handle the passing attack though

Heard on the radio that rutgers is #1 in pass defense.

Louisvilles defensive rank must have dropped if they are 16th now. Eitherway hopefully Brohm will tear this team apart.

 

[MaxDepth]

My prediction:
The Redbirds soar to new heights. 34-21 over Rutgers

 

[sash1]

go rutgers!

though, really i don't care. i only care about my alma mater, Wake Forest

but this should be a good game and i'm definitely watching it

I don't want to bring it up...superstition and what not. But look at the score from last years game. With basically the exact same defense.

They just surrendered 540 yards of offense (222 passing/318 rushing) to WVU.

Syracuse put up 322 yards (and Syracuse sucks)

Cincy: 341 yards
Middle Tenn: 250 (acceptable even though MTU sucks)
K-State: 247
Miami: 342 (Another lousy team)
Temple: 230 (but at least it was a shutout...of Temple)
UK: 260 (Acceptable)

Of those games, exactly 3 are conference opponents (WVU with 540, Cincy with 341, and Syracuse with 322).

rutgers are ranked 2nd in passing defense according to sports illustrated.

 

[BlancoNino]

Wow Rutgers was able to put up great defensive numbers against these offensive powerhouses!

UNC
Illinois
Ohio
Howard
S Florida
Navy
Pitt
Uconn

Not that Louisville's schedule is much harder...but they did play Miami and West Virginia

Louisville should win...Brohm is the best QB in the nation...but he can NOT afford ONE SINGLE mistake tonight.

 

[DougK62]

I'm not reading this whole thread, but I bet others agree with me that Rutgers is going to get owned.
