Hammer that SU line

Hammer that SU line

Obviously, I'll be foaming at the mouth for us to win, but objectively I wouldn't touch that spread with a 100-foot pole based on our recent history with Louisville.

I really like Florida at home at night and Oregon +17.5.

LSU and West Virginia

As of today with those spreads:

Louisville

Penn State
West Virginia
Utah

 

[TexanMark]

WVU is my top pick

 

[kcsu]

I like Utah.

Also this is a game we need to win. Ville has had our number but i believe given its the first game and they have zero film on us that we will win. Any other weekend against them home or away and it would be really tough.

With zero film on our new look offense, a returning Tucker, and an actual offensive strategy? I think I'll be pounding the money line on our game.

I just realized that this is the first time we're opening the season in the Dome in five years. That has to be one of, if not the longest stretch of road openers in program history.

Part of that was due to the Dome renovations being done -
We delayed some of our home openers to accommodate for that.

While I agree with those reasons for optimism and think they will make quite a difference, I think those factors really have already been accounted for in this Louisville spread. As was stated earlier, we have gotten hammered by them in the past, including just last year. I don't see how anybody could be that confident betting Syracuse in the Louisville game. I mean we know they are going to put up quite a few points on us. Happens every year and I don't see that changing this year even if our defense is solid.

its just interesting that the UL teams always seem to break big plays against us no matter who is playing for them.

[please don't be referring to Dino, please don't be referring to Dino, phew he's referring to Louisville here]

It is pretty crazy. 2018 was our high point and their low point in the Dino era. And we stomped them, but even at that they had 23 points, over 200 yards rushing and passing.

The other 5 games against Dino, they've averaged 49 points and 595 yards. Although against White, it's been about 35 points and 400 yards. So there's that.

3 point spread seems low to me. I don't think we're going to see the carnage we've seen when we play down there, but still, they have better personnel. And while I'm excited about the new offensive coaches, this stuff usually is a work in progress, not fully baked in by game 1.

The Lville OC was on Packer and Durham this morning he was was gaga about their skill guys especially the RBs. They return 86% of their offensive production.

Satterfield feels the same way. Thinks their offense is going to be tremendous.

I think they will put up at least 30 on us. Looks like it might be a high scoring shootout type game.

 

[OrangeFreek]

might drop a hundo on lsu to cover that!

I think they drop 40+ and everyone will panic - which we shouldn't, because they will be a 9, possibly 10 win team this year and score a lot all season.

Don’t forget that we up to now have played UL late when we’re usually pretty banged up.

Isn’t everybody banged up towards the end of the year?

L'ville has 9 years of film of Anae and Beck running their offense. I can't imagine they will be caught off guard by anything we run. It will be about execution. One thing is almost a given...the Cards will score a lot of points.

Not everyone has as crappy a depth chart as we have had. But yeah, no excuses, gotta beat these dopes

 

[storange]

We’re in great shape for the Cards. White can just carefully analyze last years game plan and do the complete opposite. We got this!!

 

[SUDadx2]

Taking the Orange and the points.

Let's see if we can get more than 40,000 in the Dome for this game.
