Okay, getting down to crunch time this weekend. Lets hear your picks for the game Sunday and why.

I am taking Louisville 30-17. I expect the game to be close in the first three quarters with the Cards holding a 7- to 10-point lead going into the fourth. I expect the Cats to start having to throw to catch up and some turnovers happening and Charlie keeping the ball in the ground with a couple of long bruising drives for scores at the end.

Keys to the game:

#1 Louisville's offensive line vs. UK d-line. Louisville has a senior at center and at left tackle. Both have started for a couple of years,but both were out with injury for this game last year. Anchor that with three sophomores who all have starting experience things like good.

For UK, Mister Cobble and Donte Rumph are big boys clogging up the middle. They could provide a battle for the O-line. I still say advantage Louisville!

#2 The running game. For the past 16 years, the team with the leading rusher in the game has won. I don't expect this year to be any different. With Louisville having the more experienced offensive line and running backs, I say advantage Louisville. Especially with Clemons missing the game for UK.

#3 Coaching. I think Louisville has the superior coaching staff across the board. They have lots of experience working together. Moving Watson to O.C. was a great move IMO. Comparing Joker to Charlie Strong, I have to say HUGE ADVANTAGE to the Cards!

Guess we will find out Sunday!
