The Cardinals are 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight non-conference games. Louisville is 2-6 ATS in its last eight games following a straight up win.
Prediction:
This is of course a gigantic spread, but the Spartans just got hammered by an Akron team outside the top 100. It’s going to be a lot more difficult here and the Cardinals have at least beaten one decent team in Miami (FL) already while pasting three other mediocre teams that are at least better than SC Upstate. This is going to get ugly fast and I could see this spread even being a point or two higher while still having interest. Lay the points here.
