text: what is a good college or nfl pick this week to cover the spread?   i would take a look at louisville under a td against rutgers.  there's a lot of talk out there about how great this rutgers team is, how powerful ray rice is, how the defense doesn't give up any points.  and then you look at their schedule.  unc, ill, ohio and howard as a non-conference slate?  also remember that navy lost it's starting qb early in their game.  on the flip side, the petrino knows that he has to win and win big to make up for his team's weak schedule compared to fla, cal, tex & mich.  the cardinals have a pretty solid defense and an offense that is clicking once again with brohem at the controls.  petrino puts his foot on the accelerator and doesn't look back.  louisville, comfortably.
