The guys dubbed this one the Petrino Bowl, with Petrino looking for some revenge. Their read on North Carolina is that the team is better than where it sits in the standings. They said it had no business losing to Syracuse, and they like a defense they rate as pretty good.
The other half of the case is the favorite. The guys don’t like backing Louisville’s coach as a favorite, and here that means laying more than a field goal against a defensive mastermind. They also noted that North Carolina has thrived in these home dog spots.
Nobody expects a shutout. The guys pointed out that Belichick himself conceded holding Louisville to 10 points is unrealistic. But the North Carolina offense has a pulse, it can move the ball, and it looks more cohesive with each game. To them this felt like a field goal game, so getting the hook was the draw, and the money line got a long look too.
