......then I am Brad Pitt.
Must admit i have to chuckle to myself when I read comments about how Notre Lame is worthy of natty title opp, and the seminoles are due to repeat. 1st off, let me clear the air, NOTRE DAME IS OVERRATED!! That fact being disclosed, really dampers the noles signature wins THIS year. Sure the Irish beat a weak left coast standford team that cannot score, but hardly a top ten effort.
Jumbo Fissure has lost control of the tribe, and things are running amuck in tallyland. The Seminoles are a very undisciplined team, most appear to have recruited with promise of a 10k white gold plated cubic zircona matching earrings; all image no substanance. Show boating hip hop, panty hose skull cap wearing, playing in a weak league. They only return 13 off last year's champ squad, and have been challenged even by the inept orange and others. Not convinced, and think the FRAUD unit needs to be called in on this one.
Pizza Palace is tough place to play, Dyer (ark x-tian) is a hard runner, and w/ Parker back in line at the wideout really completes this team to be competitive in this spot. So spread is no joke. Petrino sucks at sancha picking, but does know football. Return of 3 wideouts facing a suspect tribe defense, should pave the way for some gains.
I'm not going to massage the cards either though, as both teams here couldn't hold a jock strap in the SEC west; and should be a battle of wills with these two medi-okra teams. I have Flo St ranked around 17, and the Ville slightly higher. But think the home field will give the cards the home dough advantage in this one at the papa john palisades.
Anything more than a FG in this one, is a reason to squeeze, my local is dealing:
2* Louisville +4
Bonus Pick: 2* New Orleans Saints (-3)........ oh when the saints, go marching in, oh when the saints go marchin in..... panther got problems and quite frankly, suck balls!!
Good Luck !
