Another Thursday night showdown
Louisville (+17) at West Virginia – I have been wildly disappointed by Louisville this year. I had high hopes, and they have repeatedly been dashed. I’m not nearly pessimistic enough about the team and what has occurred, though, to believe that 17 points against West Virginia is a fair spread. Louisville hasn’t lost by near this much this year, they are playing better in recent weeks, and they are going to be up for this game because it is a shot at a little redemption in a year that desperately needs some. West Virginia is very good, but the value is in Louisville’s pride. Pick: Louisville.
UPDATE: 38-31 West Virginia. I was worried at the start of the third quarter, but Louisville managed to stay close and cover this spread easily. Their season, at 5-5, is a disaster, but at least it’s not a total waste if it can make us some money.

I had Louisville ATS as well. It looked scary late in the second with WV up by 17 but a late-first half TD and all those late fumbles saved it for a bet on Louisville.
