NCAA Football Betting: New Brunswick’S Return To Suckitude Will Be Swift

READ MORE: Louisville Cardinals, NCAA Betting, Rutgers Scarlet Knights

fans1.jpgRutgers University football has captivated New Jersey. After ten straight losing seasons, the Scarlet Knights are suddenly in the middle of a bowl bid hunt, which makes tonight’s game at Louisville that much more important. Unfortunately, the Knights have to do it with a redshirt freshman quarterback named Mike Teel. This seems like it would lower the 64 1/2 point total that’s showing on the board right now. Even though both teams show a prodigious passing offense, it can’t be expected that Rutgers can get anything resembling a shootout with quarterback Mike Neel behind center. Rutgers is a 22 point underdog and have, it seems, absolutely no shot at winning this game. Sorry New Jersey.

Louisville Cardinals (4-2)

BEST LINE: PITT +21, LOU -20.5

Yep. We’re doing it. As much as the mustache has dogged us all year, we’re not turning away from the 21 points. As dominant as Louisville is at home and as high-powered they are(averaging over 60 points per game at home this season) there seems to be a little consistency in Pitt’s offense in their last three victories. The total for tonight’s game is an astronomical 66 and couple with Louisville’s home average and the fact that Pittsburgh has been scoring some points lately, we’d actually like the over as well. Madness! We swear if Wannstedt’s team doesn’t show up tonight, we’ll never, ever touch them again. Ever. That’s a promise. But let’s just say we’ve got a feeling about Tyler Palko this evening after Louisville defensive end Elvis Dummeril basically said he’d dance all over his face this week. Dem’s fighting words.

PICK!: PITT +21 and OVER

img7871383.jpgPoor Dave Wannstedt. The wrinkled mustache photo is making its rounds in the AP story talking about how fall the Pitt Panthers have fallen. And tonight, the Pittstaches are 21 point underdogs to the 24th ranked Louisville Cardinals, even though they’ve won their last three games. 21 points is a huge amount of points to give—even to the hapless ‘Staches. We’ll make the pick later in the day, but it’ll take a lot to walk away from that many points. Just a hunch.
