there is not a reason in the world, i got em at 2.5 and was stoked. HAMMER IT!!!! Seriously though, i love when everyone tries to be sharps. Has Louisville had a very tough schedule? Probably not, but they got a winning record. OH wait, they haven't lost a game. Syracuse has a losing record. Obviously Syracuse's loses are against great teams but lets cut the crap. Louisville is the play here and if you don't take it you're just trying to be the upset king (I'm the man becuase i called an upset!). I see louisville winning this one but they will certainly not blow them out. And the do than thats great.

I remember watching the South Florida vs Syracuse game and commenting how terrible my syr pick was and that they needed to come back from 20 down to cover.  I said then I won't back this team again.  Against Cincy they were a generous small favorite and didn't disappoint not able to hold a 4 pt half time lead and committing stupid penalty after another.  This team plays close games, can't blow out anyone, when leading allows you to come back on them and has no killer instinct.  To go against a QB who completes 70% of his passes and 4 INTs in 9 games is beyond silly in this spot, I see no value in Syracuse to put my hard earn money on.

Louisville has scored less than 27 only once (in the monsoon against southern miss) and syracuse has give up point totals on defense of 42,42,36,35 over almost half the games they played this season.

There is no logical reason. But that's all the more REASON you need to beware.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw this short line. Way too much respect given by the oddsmakers here making Cuse a dog below 3 points. Teddy B has stepped his game up this year. Anyone who backs Cuse here is just trying to be sharp. I doubt anyone can come up with a solid reasoning to why Cuse wins other than they are at home. They give up way too many points. I considered ppounding Louisville this week but Im pounding Oregons first half instead  but bOL

This has Pitt vs uconn written all over it.  Money on Pitt and line stays the same, no reason to play uconn and their crap offense, overrated Pitt team coming off nail biter vs notre dame etc etc etc. 

Syracuse.

well, the only way this could be a 'trap' is if the game is fixed.   and maybe it is, but you cannot believe in one without the other.

Has anyone here watched these two teams play the last several years.   Watch some tape, fellas.  Or at least read some recaps.

Syracuse owns Louisville.  

This line TELLS YOU not to bet on Louisville.   The #9 team in the country is 9-0 and goes to the Dome giving the Orange 1.5 points?!  

Rerdbirds' first loss tomorrow.

The way to play this game is to take the OVER.  Lots of points coming tomorrow.  I have this game at Syracuse 36 Louisville 33.

You think I'm crazy?   Here's another capper's take:   https://cfn.scout.com/2/1237330.html

Best of luck, whatever you choose.

I had Pitt last night but I'm still all over Louisville tomorrow afternoon.  The game is a completely different dynamic.

Risking 3.3 Units to Win 3.

I agree take lousiville and win if you want to take a outright under dog at least pick one to make some money like  a parlay

 navy money line to vandy monel line sound easier to hit both of them then syracuse winning!

This site has predicted a good number of underdog wins and wouldn't be surprised if this is another one

Louisville can be had on the road.  And this is Syracuse last home game of the year.  This game could go either way.  This will be a dog fight til the end.

Syracuse is gonna run all over Louisville's garbage run defense.  And play ball control....
