Of course, no one has a more explosive offense than Louisville. Coach Bobby Petrino was interviewed by the Oakland Raiders this past offseason and word is he turned them down. Can you blame him? The Cardinals (3-0 SU/ATS) averaged 43 points and over 188 yards rushing and 293 passing per game last season and are even better this year. Louisville leads the nation with 563 yards of offense per game and an average of 50 points. They are off a huge win over No. 17 Miami on Saturday 31-7. The only tough game on the schedule remaining is West Virginia at home. The only concern is that they’ve already lost star RB Mike Bush for the season (ankle) and Saturday lost junior QB Brian Brohm for 4-6 weeks with a broken finger. Freshman quarterback Hunter Cantwell gets the nod for now. By the way, Louisville is 19-8 against the spread the last 27 games!

The Bad: Colorado and Florida State offenses. The Clemson Tigers limited FSU to 204 yards of total offense Saturday. FSU's running game entered the Atlantic Coast Conference showdown as the offense's Achilles' heel, and the offense looked lost as the Seminoles used all three of their first-half timeouts in the first 8:43 of the first quarter! Quarterback Drew Weatherford, under constant pressure most of the game, could only muster 102 yards passing, and finished 11 of 19 with no interceptions, getting sacked four times.

Colorado has a new coach in Dan Hawkins, who worked with that devastating Boise offense the last few years. It’s clear you need talent on the field to run the playbook, because the Buffaloes have been awful. Colorado (0-3 SU/0-3 ATS) is averaging 7.7 points. And they didn't face great defenses, either, losing to Montana State, Colorado State and losing 21-3 at home to Arizona State Saturday. Colorado had an incredible 147 yards of TOTAL offense in its 14-10 loss to CSU.
