#23 Mississippi State vs. Louisville TaxSlayer Bowl (Dec. 30) Predictions

[tcjkbt]

Wonder if Jackson will choose to not play? Protect his future draft position and big contract to follow!

I believe he said he's playing.

[SLINK]

Mississippi St. 34-31.

On the information we have now, I like Louisville’s odds here. Lots can happen in the month between now and then.

 

Ya gotta wonder if Lamar Jackson will sit.

[tcjkbt]

Ya gotta wonder if Lamar Jackson will sit.

He's been quoted numerous times that he is definitely playing.

He's been quoted numerous times that he is definitely playing.

 

Hopefully he doesn’t regret it

If Mullen and Fitz were still there MSU would roll Louisville; stop with this madness. Louisville plays no defense at all.

Well then it seems like they should still "roll" Louisville then, if that's the case...

And if Dae Williams was a wizard he could just levitate himself into the end zone.

 

But he’s not.

 

So that’s why we’re talking about the situation as it exists and not as it might be.

 

Mullen is gone. Grantham is gone. Fitz is out.

 

I think this game could be a pretty good one if Miss St can get it’s offense together by the end of the month.

[Randy Parker]

Cards by 8.

Cards by 8.

 

This sounds about right to me. If Fitzgerald were playing it would be a really good game. Think it'll end up close to a score, but that the final score will be closer than the game really is.

[ThrillVille Cardinal51]

It bodes well for Louisville, but it would have made an interesting Bowl story line if Grantham was still at Mississippi state.

 

I think this will be a tough game, despite what Mississippi State has lost. Hopefully the Cards show out and Lamar goes out on top. He deserves it.

This one would've been a very good game. Now MSU is minus their Head Coach who is basically their Offensive coordinator calling plays, plus their Defensive coordinator along with other coaches that left with Mueller. MSU's QB / best player / athlete is out as well so I would wonder how much incentive that the team will have to play being minus their best player as well as head coach, coaches. UL has imo the best overall athlete in college fb at QB in L. Jackson. I believe that UL win this one fairly easily, by a couple of TD's at least.

[John Anthony]

Alexander will sit the game out and prepare for the NFL.

[Getslow]

Don’t blame him at all. Missed half the season due to injury. No reason to risk anything in a game that doesn’t mean a ton.

[jpa2825]

Hearns apparently out as well. Didn't look closely enough to tell whether it was his decision or injury (or if he got shot again).
