Cards getting 6 points to ND

TheRealVille
It's not about the actual spread number, it's how that number came to be that I question. And I'm more than ready to throw away the we play better when disrespected mantra. That's why I disagree this notion ND is a touchdown better team than UoL.

This program shouldn't be disrespected anymore. Don't know about you, but my forever is a lot shorter so I'm done with the disrespected label in order to win. It's time this program is expected to beat average teams on the road, even if the name of one of those teams is Notre Dame.

I don’t understand the concern about the spread.
If you’re not betting, it makes no difference.

It’s ND.

If we win, they spin.

Keep winning, on a REGULAR basis, and they can’t “disrespect” us forever if that matters.

We lose? It just puts us deeper in their minds.

Regardless the spread.

An aside….some of our best teams ever were “disrespected”.

Disrespect has traditionally been very good to us.

It’s also our first road game. ND will be fired up to play us. That’s not going to be easy. I think the spread is high, but let’s also factor in we have a good bit of injuries too. We’re not going in there 100%

ND has injuries as well. All football teams have injuries so all teams are not 100 percent? I disagree with the notion Cards are not 100 percent. Thompson is not the best WR, Turner is not the best RB.

We pretty much know the only position that would mean not 100 percent is at QB. Brohm has not established a backup QB that can be trusted to perform well enough to win. Cards have good depth everywhere else.

As for ND being fired up, so what? Louisville will be fired up as well. This game comes down to who has the better team and I believe that is Louisville. That doesn't guarantee victory of course, but I will be highly disappointed if the Cards lose. If we can't win road games against overhyped teams like ND, a ACC championship or playoff appearance will not happen.

A mobile QB who's a passing threat. Riley Leonard has yet to show that. I think facing Haynes King the game before really helps the Louisville defense for Leonard, who will run the ball.

Thompson being out doesn't hurt with Lacy coming back. Cards are deep at WR. Looking at this game, a low scoring affair is the way for ND. If Louisville scores a couple TD's early, ND will be in catch-up mode and that's not where they want to be.

Brohm has been pretty conservative so far with the offense in terms of creativity. I'm thinking he's going to go for some big plays early in the game to force ND to risk more on offense to keep up. That's what this Louisville defense wants.

I'm confident the Cards are the better team but that doesn't always mean much. If the game comes down to the last possession, I won't be as confident.

We’ve actually played two teams with running QBs so that issue should be shored up. And we’ve lost Thompson, but we get Lacy back; well I hope!
