8-Unit Play. Take #245 Louisville (+7) over Georgia (6:30 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 30)
Note: This is the Belk Bowl and from the KING System.
There is a lot at work here. But the fact is that I love the Cardinals and Bobby Petrino in the underdog role. Petrino is one of those guys that it is always dangerous to lay points to and I think that Louisville is going to win this game outright. They have by far the better defense in this game and I think with a month to prep that Petrino will have his offense humming along. The Bulldogs defense has been incredibly streaky this year and you never know which group is going to show up. The Bulldogs started the season with hopes of winning the SEC and I don’t think that they care much about this bowl game. Petrino cares, not only because he wants to make a splash in his first year back at Louisville but also because he has no love for anything Atlanta after his horrid time with the Falcons.
Perhaps the biggest angle at play here is that Louisville defensive coordinator Todd Grantham was the DC at Georgia for four years before he was unceremoniously released. He recruited every player on that UGA defense and knows the strengths and weaknesses of every player on that Bulldogs roster. Again, with a month to prep that is a huge advantage for the former Georgia coach.
On top of that, Georgia lost its offensive coordinator, Mike Bobo, when Bobo took the Colorado State job. Bobo also took a couple UGA coordinators with him (though they will be coaching the bowl game) and I just wonder where this team’s focus is right now.
I think that Louisville is going to come to play here and I think they will do some things to give Georgia problems. I see this as a lower scoring bowl game and a close one at that, played in the 20’s. I think Louisville wins this game and the points are good here.
