I guess that's about right; I figured it'd be close to a pick 'em. Looks like the juice in on Louisville, too (-120), so it may move to 1.5 or 2.
Kind of a weird season for them so far:
Got blown out by Syracuse (SU is good but not that good)
Defeated a UCF team that has beaten the snot out of everyone else they've played, including GT
Hung with a decent Florida State team in what was more or less a 50/50 game
Pounded South Florida, who sucks but has hung with some decent teams
Lost to Boston freaking College
Beat a lousy Virginia team
I didn't really expect to be in a position where we'd need to win a game, as underdogs, this early in the season in order to hang around in Coastal contention, but here we are. Any thoughts on how this plays out? I really don't know much about their team, but I've mentioned numerous times about our linebackers maintaining their assignments against Cunningham being a concern. I don't really have a prediction, but I think we could officially label the season as a major disappointment with a loss. Conversely, a win would put us right in the thick of things and might make that UNC game an early de facto Coastal championship game (I'd expect each team to lose one more after that, but the tie breaker would be huge).
