Louisville vs Clemson Prediction
The Louisville Cardinals are heading in the wrong direction defensively, and that’s not ideal heading into this matchup. Louisville has also failed to cover 5 straight games and is 2-7 ATS in its last 9 games as a double-digit underdog. The Clemson Tigers are getting better by the week, and they’re 4-2 ATS on the season as a double-digit favorite. Clemson has won and covered each of its last 6 games against Louisville. A Clemson offense that’s fifth in total offense and fourth in scoring offense should be drooling about this matchup. I’ll lay the chalk with Clemson at home.
