Syracuse/Louisville line

[whaler11]

Certainly seems like linesmakers expect the Louisville run to end this week. Only laying 3 to Syracuse?

They have been winning, but they haven't looked that much better than their opponents. (other than Temple last week). Excluding Temple, they beat the previous 6 teams by a combined 30 points. That includes FIU (2-8 won by 7) and Southern Miss (0-9 won by 4) both of which were on the road. Against decent (and a couple bad) teams, their games have been close, winning by an average of 5, and this one is on the road. The line looks just about right to me, and I think the smart play is taking the points (maybe buying a half a point). Do you think it's low?

Wow. It's down to -1.5 on my site.

Yes, looks like Vegas thinks this is the week, can't blame them. Ville has been unimpressive on the road.

I've fully expected Syracuse to end the run for a while. Seems both the linemakers and the gamblers agree.

I hate cuse, hoping Ville keeps the streak alive. Liked it at 3, don't love it at 1.5 but that's because Ville has had the ability to pull out the close wins even when they haven't looked good.

 

[whaler11]

Yeah can't bet at 1.5 and hope Louisville wins one more - it's just an interesting line.

Really want Ville to keep the dream season alive for the sake of the conference. Also, screw Cuse.
