Louisville vs. Nasty Bunch

[dawg70]

Who do yall like? Louisville -2 and the under of 57 looks good. Both teams have stout defenses.

Both teams have stout defenses.

USM gave up 30 points per game this year.

Louisville likes to run the ball. Nasty Bunch is 13th nationally against the run.<div>
</div><div>So, I am guessing you like the over OR you're a 17ing prick.</div>

I just assumed that if you give up 30 ppg, everything about your defense must suck. But after a quick check, you could be right that this is a good matchup for the Eagles.

Nasty Bunch

There is nothing Nasty about USM's defense. They are terrible. They rank well against the run for a several reasons:
1, USM's offense is good (for CUSA) so other teams have to try and keep up with them by throwing the ball.
2, It's so easy to pass on them, why run?
3, The CUSA is a pass happy league. Most of those teams don't even pretend to rush the ball.

Louisville will win by a couple TDs.

2 spots behind MSU (who don't have some stupid nickname).

"Nasty Bunch"? Is that a thing for USM? They've given up 36pts/game since Oct.

That's a nickname the gave to their defense back in the 90s. The USM defense back then was certainly stout, but none of that nastiness exists today.

and lost by 6. I wouldn't touch a game where they are involved.
