College Football Week 6 Injury Report & Early Predictions: Louisville vs. Virginia
Louisville (-3.5) at Virginia
Louisville QB Malik Cunningham was removed from Saturday’s upset loss to Boston College with an undisclosed injury. Cunningham’s injury proved devastating. He missed the final two drives in what turned out to be a 34-33 loss. Louisville was a double-digit favorite in that game.
Cunningham initially suffered the injury in the third quarter. He returned for the next series and led a touchdown drive. But when he returned to the sidelines, Cunningham was seen entering the injury tent, then being escorted to the locker room. His day was over. Cunningham was replaced by Brock Domann, who went 1-for-7 through the air while not providing any mobility.
UL HC Scott Satterfield refused to disclose Cunningham’s injury after the game or even hint at a recovery timeline… so we’re a bit in the dark on this one. Satterfield, whose seat is getting hotter and hotter, knows as well as anyone how devastating it would be to lose Cunningham for multiple games.
Cunningham, basically, is Louisville’s entire offense. He leads the team in both rushing and passing, having accounted for 43.7% and 66.3%, respectively, of the team’s rushing yardage and total yardage to this point.
What is Betting Against the Spread?
Betting “against the spread†refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.
What is an Over/Under Bet?
Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.
What is a Moneyline Bet?
A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
