TCU -1.5 Louisville 50.5

This play becomes an automatic play because of the situation it qualifies in. TCU qualifies in a home momentum situation, which is now 127-50-3 and 9-1 this year, including an easy win with Texas last week. The average cover has been by 6.5 points and by 11.5 points this year. The Louisville offense is better, gaining 6.7 yppl against teams allowing 5.8 yppl versus the TCU offense, which is gaining just 5.6 yppl against 5.5 yppl. The TCU defense is better, allowing 5.1 yppl against 5.0 yppl, while Louisville is allowing 5.0 yppl against 4.7 yppl. Both offenses are above average and both defenses are below average. But Louisville runs the ball 59% of the time and they are averaging 5.4 ypr against 4.5 ypr but the TCU defense is allowing just 2.6 ypr against teams averaging 3.7 ypr. Both teams throw the ball well but Louisville has defended the pass better this year. Final numbers indicate TCU winning by about two points but with the added value of the great situation they are in, that makes their final number closer to about seven points. I also like this game over the total. As I said, both teams have above average offenses and below average defenses and these two have played each other the last two years with TCU dominating on the scoreboard, but both games were very high scoring, 45-31 at Louisville last year and 37-22 at TCU two years ago. TCU 34 LOUISVILLE 24

YTD 25-33-1 -26.70%

Good Luck, but dont' see how tcu can come up with the offense to beat louisville. Their defenses are similar with tcu slightly better giving up 18.9 points vs louisvilles' 19.9. I think the key here is louisville's offense, averaging 34.8 vs tcu's 28.4. This will be Tcu's toughest game all year. Louisville has two quality wins at Syracuse and at kentucky. Tcu has one quality win at South Florida. And almost lost a nail bighter against a terriable Arizona team. Tcu is definatley a little over rated, and will not go undefeated. I like louisville to come out with a win.

nd - By that same theory, Louisville lost at S. Florida, which would make TCU the play. I don't believe in the comparison matchups that much because I think each matchup needs to be evaluated on it's own.

I think TCU can stop the Louisville rushing attack enough to do some damage. Defenses are pretty equal but I think the TCU defense is slightly better, but not that much better.

The reason for the play is the situation, which has been outstanding since 1988 and this year again, at 9-1.
