SMU Looks to Move to 2-0 In ACC Play

SMU made a great first impression as a member of the ACC last week, as they won their first conference game in blowout fashion at home over Florida State. While Florida State is in the middle of a down year this year, the Mustangs still deserve a ton of credit for not taking their foot off the gas in that contest. Here, SMU will look to win their first road game in conference play as a member of the ACC as they take on a Louisville team that will be hungry to erase the bad taste of last week's loss to Notre Dame out of their mouths.

Louisville Looking to Bounce Back From First Loss

After winning their first three games of the season, the Louisville Cardinals suffered their first loss of the year on the road against Notre Dame last week. The Cards are fortunate that loss was a non-conference loss, as they are still 1-0 in ACC play on the season. For Louisville to get back into the win column and to remain unbeaten in the ACC, they will need to find a way to limit SMU running back Brashard Smith. Smith has rushed for over 500 yards this season to go with seven rushing touchdowns. If Louisville can take him away, the Cards could be 4-1 overall and 2-0 in the ACC by the end of this weekend.

SMU vs Louisville Best Bet

SMU vs Louisville could be the best game of the weekend in the ACC when all is said and done. As for betting this game, we will take the over in this contest. SMU's offense appears to have figured things out over the last couple of weeks, while Louisville should bounce back nicely on offense after struggling against a very good Notre Dame defense in their last outing. We should see these teams combine to score at least 60 points in the state of Kentucky.
