Virginia vs Louisville Prediction
In their previous meeting last season, Louisville won 24-20 on the road, not covering the spread, as the game went under the total. Louisville is 7-3 in their last 10 meetings against Virginia, and under is 7-2 in their last 9 meetings.
In this Virginia vs Louisville Prediction, Louisville is coming as -7.5-point home favorites, with the total set at 62.5 points. Both teams have been excellent this season, with Louisville being undefeated in their four games played, and Virginia having lost only once. Louisville has failed to cover the spread in all of their three home wins this season, and Virginia has a better offense, scoring 7.4 points per game more. Virginia also forced a close game last season, and I expect them to do so again today. Take Virginia and the +7.5 points in this one.
