Thursday Night Pick

[Eagles311]

RUTGERS +7

Last Thursday I was all over Louisville and cashed a nice ticket. One week later I am fading my money maker. After watching Louisville play I was not impressed at all. They were able to move the ball because WV has a terrible secondary. It was just too easy. However the one thing that blew my mind was how bad Louisvilles defense was against a one demensional team. They could not stop the run, it was hard to watch.

Now a week later the same team has to go on the road and play another big game. Laying 7 points on the road with a crappy defense will prove to be a challenge. Rutgers runs the ball well and plays good defense, if they can make some big stops on this Louisville offense then Rutgers has a great chance to win this one straight up.

Just love the situation tonight. Getting 7 points @ home in the biggest game of Rutgers history. Last week Louisville was pumped to knock off the number 3 team, this week its Rutgers turn to feed off the crowd and go for the glory. Give me the home team that knows how to play defense.

On a side note nobody is even giving Rutgers a chance, reminds me of two weeks ago when VT stomped Clemson. Good luck and enjoy the game tonight!

West Virginia's offense can make a lot of defenses look bad...did you see that fullback of theirs...he's like having an extra lineman on the line of scrimmage :scared

Agree, WV has two future NFL backs. Louisville, will be up for this game,Brohm is healthy and back in a groove, Louisville is much more used to being in the spotlight.

The thing that has me worried about rutgers is that they only have a one back attack where WVU has 2 lethal runners.

Teel is not that good and he obviously can't run like Pat White. WVU seems to run a lot of gadget type running plays that even fool the camera man at times. The camera will follow Slaton and White has the ball breaking one on the outside! :scared WVU offense is very complex and very effective.

WVU does have a one dimensional running offense but they have different options within that one dimension. Rutgers only really has Rice and that should be an easier target for the louisville defense to focus on. Yeah, Leonard is good, but from what I've seen Rice is the main cog in that offense

I haven't played either side in this game as of yet but it is hard to back "the ville" laying 7 on the road playing against a pretty legit undefeated rutgers squadron.

good luck with the play

i think rutgers has 2 quality backs....i have seen leonard play about 1/2 dozen times & am very impressed with him, especially catching the ball out of the backfield. my question about rutgers is their qb...can he keep the pressure off of their runners ?...i am not sure that is why i'm off that game.

Besides, Louisville won that game because of 2 errors of WV starting the 3rd quarter, otherwise WV would have won that game and the line today would be at PICK

Agree, WV has two future NFL backs.

So does Rutgers.

Call me crazy but I am taking Rutgers +3 second half. I love how sick it makes me to bet this after watching them screw up so much. :s1:
