Louisville Cardinals vs. Virginia Tech Hokies Prediction
I’m on Louisville here. I get that it’s a Saturday game here in Blacksburg, but the problem for Virginia Tech is just that I don’t trust this team offensively to sustain the success they had against Cal and go score for score against a superior Louisville offense. The Cardinals are just the better team by a fair margin and I look for them to get the W rather comfortably here. Give me Louisville.
