Louisville is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against a team with a winning record. The over is 4-1 in Louisville’s last 5 conference games. Clemson is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 November games and 3-9 ATS in their last 12 home games. The over is 5-2 in Clemson’s last 7 games. Clemson is 5-0 ATS in these two teams last 5 head to head meetings.
Clemson is coming off of a game where they were dominated by Notre Dame, while Louisville has won four games in a row. Clemson’s loss last week will probably make them have a slow start in this game, but Louisville isn’t much of a threat to them. I think Clemson will shut them down on defense and I like the under here.
