OK, I won't bore you with my dissertation of the trap of betting on a game just because it's on TV but tonight you have another case but this time one that is a huge mismatch. So, let's take a look at tonight's Middle Tennessee State and Louisville contest.

The eighth-ranked Louisville Cardinals roll into tonight's game after a an easy first game win over Murry State 73-10. In that game, Heisman candidate, Brian Brohm threw for 375 yards and four touchdowns. Brohm hit receiver Harry Douglas for five catches, two touchdowns, and 151 yards.

The Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders weren't so lucky in their first game as they lost 27-14 to Sun Belt Conference opponent Florida Atlantic. Coming into this season many regarded the Blue Raiders as a contender for the Sun Belt conference. In last weeks game QB Joe Craddock passed for 199 yards and a TD but was picked off twice while his team feel behind quickly 24-0.

Both of these teams hooked up last season when Louisville posted an easy 44-17 victory. In this game Louisville relied on backup QB, Hunter Cantwell, as Brohm was nursing an injury.

Middle Tennessee State has a brutal opening schedule as their first three games are on the road that includes tonight's visit to 11th ranked Louisville and then on to #2 ranked LSU next week.

Louisville has been unbelievable at home posting a 15-2 ATS as a home favorite, outscoring their opponents 49.3-16.6. They also have outscored Sun Belt opponent 50-10 in L4 meetings. There is nothing other than MTSU's decent defensive line that could stop a similar result this season. Opinion: This is a lot of points and one bounce of the ball could kill the line but this is just a colossal mismatch so take Louisville and give the points.
