This game to me might be one of easiest bowl picks on the slate. This Louisville team is average at best going up against a Miami,Ohio team that has one of if not the best quarterback in the country in Rothisburger. Louisville if in the Mac this year would have at best been the 5th best team in this conference behind Miami,Bowling Green, Northern Illinois, and even Marshall. This game has blow out written all over it. Take Miami -13 over Louisville. Bowl Record 1-0

Railbird and LSU pete,

Louisville is not a good football team. They have not beaten anyone and will be thoroughly handled by Miami,OH. Save your money!

I am looking at motivation in this one. Louisville must be pissed being installed as such a heavy underdog. Even if it is deservingly so against this Miami Off., Louisville still has the weapons themselves on theif Offensive side of the ball. I like the fact that they also have a QB who can run as well as pass and that can most times be the back breaker or wild card so to speak. The real test is to see whose Def will show up tomorrow. Everyone keeps talking about the Miami Off , but what about their Def. Louville does possess a high scoring Off also. I see Louville to be very upset at the disrespect or maybe just the big opportunity they face in taking on a ranked opponent. Sometimes in Bowl games motivation is all you need. Look at Memphis last night . 32 years of not going to a bowl was all the motivation they needed. In fact, they even memtioned how the Grizzles were televising their game on the big screen. Still, with this flu bug hitting the Louiville players, now my pick is on the back burner for now. Anyways, Good Luck and Aloha CC.

Kojack - You are thinking as I am on this game. It may be a pass for me but Miami is the only side I would take. That line is large for a reason. Thanks for sharing & all the best as usual.

Louisville has beaten Syracuse and Kentucky - and at Cincinnati - the only common opponent of the two teams.

is this game inside a dome? If so the over would be in order. Miami to win, not sure they will make plus 14.

NEWPORT LOUISVILLE EXPERT

What everyone should be focusing on is Miami's defense, and look at those defensive preformances in their games. Instead of Looking at common opponents, and looking at Miami's QB, anf the fact that they are looked at as the best MAC team. BECAUSE LOUISVILLE CAN AND WILL SCORE POINTS. COACH PETRINO IS ALSO A COCKY MAN, and that 14 point spread has him IRATE. SO he will pull out all the stops in this game. Also He has to show the BiG East Louisville is ready, and that he is committed to Louisville after the Auburn incident. The Louisville QB is as as good as any QB in the MAC outside of Rothensberger. Louisville +14, and take that ML in the parlays. The total is HUGE, though, and that worries me

Newport - Your thoughts make sense to me as well. I can't see how Miami doesn't put up 40+ in this game. If Louisville covers, this game is going over I'd think.

Miami Oh for me too....

Only thing that I see as a factor....BIG EAST doesn't want teams coming in that are getting beat up on by MAC teams. The factor...THE FIX FACTOR!

A buddy of mine told me that Louisville has only sold about 1000 tickets to this game.
