I do not see Louisville pulling this one out. I feel if the line was 14+ and everyone was not picking the upset Louisville would catch them of guard..
Louisville will have the lead at the half Winston is a slow starter and a strong finisher.
Points will be scored in this game as this is the best O that Louisville will face and FSU will have to score to keep pace as Louisville will score.
When the line 1st came out yes on Louisville but it's dropped a lot.
FSU has not covered yet this year but 4pts is not a big spread.
FSU m/l with the over...
Good luck

Every sports media outlet is predicting a Louisville win. Thats why I will go with FSU.

I like that every good capper on covers has LV. That probably means it wont happen. I have FSU under a touchdown and i feel good about backing #2 team vs an unranked Louville. You can talk about how LVs D is this and that and they get their big Wr back but in the end ill go with the undefetead defending national champs.

love him or hate Winston is a stud QB and will keep his team in any game. Lville has a very strong defensive squad that will at times be in great position to create turnovers. Although this has all the makings of a big upset Thursday nite on ESPN I just feel being able to get FSU under a fg (line now at 4 buying under 3) way too much value there. Notre Dame was able to move the ball on FSU for one reason only and that was the play of Gholston. Gardner is no Gholston and I don't see them being able to score enough.

FSU 27 Lville 17 BoL

Think it finishes at 3. Glad I got 6.5.... Do think it will be kept close. FSU just can't afford the loss. Win by 1 -3

I'm just not sure what everyone sees in Lousiville other than a very solid (but slightly overrated) defense and an inconsistent offense with only one true playmaker.. FSU's bevy of talent has proven itself to be a show-up-when-needed group, and I have no doubt that all this Thursday night upset talk is only going to motivate them more. Jameis will play like the Heisman he is, and the Seminoles defense makes just enough stops for the noles to cover.

27-20 SEMINOLES

Here is a interesting scenario.....

I think FSU goes down tonight, so let's play a game.....


Last week Old Piss was ranked #3 in just about very poll.... they lost to the #24 LSU..Essentially they drop only one spot to #4. I know the AP had them lower, but let's be honest here... This is the only poll that really matters and the committee knew their ranking was #3 before they lost to #24.....

Dropped one spot!





Fast Forward here.......................

If FSU goes down tonight. They are essentially playing in the same situation that Old Piss was..... #2  vs #25


Would FSU only drop 1 spot next week in the polls??


Food for thought...........

If FSU is only -4 here, what will the spread be when they play a real team like Miami?  a PK?

Hey Boom,

I like the pick because it's Thursday and strange things happen on Thursday games. I like that it's a road game for FSU. I like that you picked FSU to lose, which would make me happy.

I can't get past the fact that Winston hasn't lost yet. D bag or not, he has a knack for winning.

For me, better to sit this one out and simply root for Louisville. Good luck!

I smell O/T coming. Vegas killed it with 1st half bets. They'll give the 2nd. Just sayin that seems to be the profile last 3 weeks

Horrible beat???????

That great defense you were applauding all week surrendered 580 yards. They had no business even being in the game. In case you didn't know, 580 yards is absolutely terrible and they should never be called a decent defence ever again tonight. Bama never gives up 580 yards to FSU and you know that!

I had FSU but it almost seemed like Winston was playing like crap in the first half on purpose- FSU has been a second half team all year but that just looked really fishy- They will not win the National Championship this year and I can't wait to bet against them in the playoff

NOT a bad beat... first half , like most big hyped home teams, played with a lot of energy...and Seminoles played tight, made a lot of penalties...Winston struggled with throwing into triple coverage, resulting in turnovers... He over threw wide open receivers etc.... Seminoles had a missed field goal, and a touchdown called back.... no way in hell, this was a bad beat

This was a repeat of last year's prediction about Clemson (and why Boom disappeared for the remainder of the year)

Can't let your feelings get caught up in your money - just because you want a team to lose...

That's the simple truth.

Best of luck this weekend.

Ville 0-10 3rd down conversions, defense keep them in the game early and good field position.  Otherwise FSU wins by 28.
