Louisville - 6 Over Mississippi St. by 27
Gridiron Gold Sheet Bowl Game of the Year
Saturday, December 30, 2017, 12:00 ET @ EverBank Field, Jacksonville, FL - Opening Odds: Louisville -6, O/U 63.
The Louisville Cardinals are unranked, but they are favored in the TaxSlayer Bowl against the No. 23 Mississippi State
Bulldogs. Not only do the Cardinals have last year’s Heisman winner Lamar Jackson, but Mississippi State will be without
head coach Dan Mullen who left for Florida and without star quarterback Nick Fitzgerald. The Bulldogs will also be without
their defensive coordinator. The Cardinals had high hopes this season with Lamar Jackson at quarterback, but Louisville
couldn’t beat Clemson and they suffered tough losses to NC State, Boston College, and Wake Forest. Louisville went 8-4
straight up this season, but they were just 5-7 against the spread. They went over the total six times and under six times.
They scored 39 points per game and gave up 27 points per contest. Louisville is all about Jackson who rushed for 1,443
yards and threw for 3,489 yards. He had another great season but it would have taken something beyond comprehension
for him to win the Heisman again.
The Bulldogs went 8-4 straight up and 7-5 against the spread. They will be without Mullen who had coached the team
since 2009. Taking over will be Penn State’s offensive coordinator Joe Moorhead but he will not coach the bowl game.
The Bulldogs lost four games this season but two of them were to Georgia and Alabama. The problem for Mississippi
State in the bowl game is that Fitzgerald will not play. That means freshman Keytaon Thompson will get the start. He will
be handing the ball off a lot to running backs Aeris Williams (1019 yards this year), Kylin Hill and Nick Gibson. Mississippi
State averaged 32 points per game this season and gave up 20 points per contest. They will not have defensive
coordinator Todd Grantham who left with Mullen to Florida. The Bulldogs were solid on defense this season, but they
needed Grantham in this game, as he used to coach at Louisville and would have had some good strategies to slow down
Jackson.
How is Mississippi State going to stop Louisville in this game? How are the Bulldogs going to score enough points to stay
with the Cardinals? Will Mississippi State even be motivated to win without a number of their coaches no longer with the
team? If Fitzgerald was playing then perhaps this game could turn into a shootout and the Bulldogs might have a chance.
Without him they should get routed. Louisville has far too much offensive firepower for Mississippi State who is playing
without their defensive coordinator. On the other side of the ball, the Louisville defense, which normally isn’t that great,
should be able to stack the line against the run and keep the Bulldogs in check. It is always somewhat of a concern when
a game looks too easy, but Louisville has all of the edges in this contest. We
will lay the 6 points and take the
Louisville Cardinals as our Gridiron Gold Sheet Bowl Game of the Year Selection.

Newsletter Tracking (through 12/31/17)
Mendoza Line cumulative year to date record through December 31, 2017:
Final report of the season.
Not every newsletter gets posted every week, and I'll try to note when the record doesn't include every week of the season.
Another note is that the grading is based on the line indicated in the newsletter at the time of publication, not the closing line. Many of these newsletters will claim a win against the best available line as it moves throughout the week, but these records reflect the outcome against the line they were willing to make a play on in their newsletter.
This thread is NFL only after the conclusion of college football's regular season.
