In 2018 Bobby Petrino turned me into a degenerate. This sportswriter always enjoyed watching the games, but rarely got in on the action. Petrino’s pathetic Cardinals changed my ways. Each week I’d bet against the Louisville football team to cover the spread and each week I made money hand over fist. UofL football was 0-11 ATS against FBS opponents. “This is easy,” I thought to myself, a gambler’s famous last words. Of course, sports gambling is not easy, at least it has not been until now.
Playing against a perviously one-win Florida State team, Louisville lost 75-53 in Tallahassee to drop to 0-9 on the season.
