00:00How about a game that's going to kick off, Joe?

00:01Saturday at noon, a battle of the Miami Hurricane beaters here.

00:05Louisville taking on SMU in a line that had SMU over a field goal, Joe.

00:09And somehow it's four and a half, has now crept down to two and a half,

00:12still as a favorite for SMU at home.

00:14The total, which is up a little bit, that look ahead, 51 and a half or so,

00:1853 and a half now in the marketplace.

00:20Louisville, SMU, and the ACC.

00:22What's your spread line here, two, seven, and three teams?

00:24The best situational spot this week, Donnie, comes in this game here,

00:30where SMU will have extra rest coming off a bye week.

00:35And Louisville is reeling.

00:37I mean, not only has to travel now back to Texas after back-to-back losses,

00:43but it's got to try to figure out how to regrow.

00:45I don't know how they lost that game, 20-19 at the hands of Clemson there.

00:50And now they've got, I believe, Kentucky next week, a rivalry game, of course,

00:56coming up, which is huge in the state of Kentucky between those two teams.

01:01Not good.

01:02But the look ahead line and a lot of spots, Donnie, 3-3 and a half for SMU,

01:07and we're under a field goal now.

01:10So there is a lot of Louisville love in the marketplace,

01:13thinking that this could be the opportunity for them to get back into it.

01:18Anybody who laid the 3-3 and a half early with SMU,

01:22you're kind of scratching your head going, what is going on here?

01:26The spot favors SMU, but Louisville backed into a corner here with back-to-back losses.

01:32This is the spot of the week, Donnie.
