Miami vs Louisville Prediction, Pick & Odds – 10/19/24

The top-ranked team in the ACC to this point in the season is the undefeated Miami Hurricanes. But the Hurricanes have nearly lost in each of their last two games and will look to avoid a similar fate when they visit the Louisville Cardinals on Saturday. Miami is favored by 4.5 points, while the total for this matchup has been set at 60.5 points.

Here, you can find our college football best bets for Miami vs Louisville in the ACC.

Can Miami Avoid Another Close Call?

Miami comes into this week’s crucial matchup against Louisville off of its bye week. Before that bye week, the Hurricanes survived two straight close calls against Cal and Virginia Tech. Cam Ward and the Hurricanes offense have carved up its opponents all season long, Miami’s defense has allowed 36 points per game over their last two games. Another poor performance from the Miami defense could mean a first loss of the season on the road for the Canes.

Must-Win Territory For Louisville

The Louisville Cardinals are 4-2 overall this season and 2-1 in ACC play. But with all of the teams ahead of them without a loss in the ACC standings, the Cardinals need to figure out how to get a win in this game to avoid going two games back of multiple teams in the loss column in their conference. Louisville’s offense will be expected to put up its share of points against a suspect Miami defense, but the question will be whether or not Louisville can get enough stops to compete here.

Miami vs Louisville Prediction

Instead of taking a side in this Miami vs Louisville matchup, we will take the over. Miami’s combination of electric offense and subpar defense has been a recipe for overs this season, as the Hurricanes are 5-0-1 to the over in 2024. Look for them to produce another high-scoring game here, as Louisville should do its part to push this game to 61 points or more.
