1 – Teddy’s Last Dance
Payperhead.com’s sportsbook software makes it easier for you to bet, but you have to make the right bets in order to come out ahead. Teddy Bridgewater will have more eligibility left at the University of Louisville, but he’s almost certain to leave school and go to the 2014 NFL Draft. Bridgewater doesn’t seem to be making the wrong move if indeed he goes. He has the arm. He can make all the throws. His speed is above average though not tremendous. Reading defenses can be a bit of an issue, and it’s also true that this past season, he was not overwhelmingly brilliant against a lot of average defenses. Yet, in the NFL, with quality receivers and linemen on the field, Bridgewater should be able to thrive. If he’s surrounded with really good talent, there’s no reason to think he won’t make a very solid professional. He will continue to learn as he goes along, and he doesn’t have to stick around in Louisville for another season in order to develop as a quarterback. Should this be Bridgewater’s last game, it will obviously be an emotional moment for him and the Louisville program. More important is the idea that if this is Bridgewater’s last college game, it will be an important time for him to show off his talents to the NFL scouts that will either be watching the game in person or on television.
2 – Can Stephen Morris Outshine Bridgewater?
At payperhead.com, you become more knowledgeable as a betting player. NFL scouts want to become more knowledgeable about Stephen Morris, the quarterback who is going to oppose Teddy Bridgewater in this game. Morris has not been surrounded by elite talent in his years at Miami, since the Hurricanes have not recruited nearly as well as they once did. Miami has been dogged by NCAA sanctions and has been forced to self-impose a few bowl bans in recent years, depriving the Hurricanes of chances to play in bowl games. Morris has really missed out on a number of opportunities in his collegiate career, so this is one of the bigger stages he will have to prove that he’s NFL-ready. Going up against Bridgewater will only up the ante for Morris and a Miami team that is finally back in the bowl season spotlight. If Morris matches Bridgewater, this game could be wildly entertaining and captivating.
3 –Miami Faces An Important Moment
This is a significant game for Louisville, since the Cardinals missed out on a BCS bowl with an 11-1 record and want to be able to beat a team from a state (Florida) in which Charlie Strong, the Cardinals’ head coach, has recruited a great deal. Yet, while Louisville is intent on winning, Miami has been barred from the postseason in recent years. This is definitely a place for the Hurricanes to make a statement to a national audience about how far they’ve come under head coach Al Golden.
