Louisville Hopes to Avoid Third Straight Loss

After starting their season with a 3-0 record, the Louisville Cardinals have lost each of their last two games. Louisville has lost to Notre Dame and SMU in their last two outings, giving up 32.5 points per game over those two contests. This week, Louisville is on the road, having lost their only road game of the season so far against the Fighting Irish. And while Virginia isn't a team with the reputation of Notre Dame, a road loss here for the Cardinals would dip them below .500 in conference play for the year and move them to 3-3 overall, which would be a massive disappointment after how they started this season.

Virginia Looks For Third Straight ACC Win

The Virginia Cavaliers are 4-1 overall and 2-0 in the ACC going into this Louisville vs Virginia contest from Charlottesville. The Cavaliers have conference wins over Wake Forest and Boston College so far this year. While the win over Wake Forest isn't all that impressive given how bad the Demon Deacons have been, beating Boston College at home last week was much more impressive from them. If Virginia can get a second straight home win to move to 5-1 and 3-0 in conference play, they may not be unranked for much longer.

Louisville vs Virginia Betting Prediction

We will take the points with the home underdog in this Louisville vs Virginia matchup in the ACC. The Cardinals have the more dynamic passing attack going into this contest, but Virginia has been better defensively and should have some buy-in from their home crowd going into this game as well. Look for Virginia to threaten to win this game outright late and to cover the number on their home turf.
