Las Vegas - Heading down to the Bluegrass State and gonna drop some cash on Louisville over Virginia. Not thrilled about laying 20 points, but man, the 'Ville is a MONSTER at home. They have won TEN in a row and if you're sitting, have outscored the opposition, 181-51. And the last two games have been even more impressive, with a 34-3 destruction of Virginia Tech and a 23-0 bagel against Duke. The Cardinal are averaging 40+ points at home while Virginia has allowed the most points of any team in the ACC. To say that Louisville QB Jack Plummer has been accurate would be an enormous understatement. Last week, against Virginia Tech, Plummer was 11 of 12 for 92%. The Cavaliers QB situation is shaky because the starter, Tony Muskett, will NOT play. That leaves the job in the hands of freshman Anthony Colandrea, and that's a problem. Yea Virginia beat North Carolina and Miami back in October, but that was WITH Muskett firing bullets. With nine days to rest before heading to Miami for a critical showdown, expect Louisville to show no mercy and walk off with an easy breezy 30 point W.
