Boston College Eagles vs. Louisville Cardinals Prediction

I’m on Louisville here. I get the case to be made for BC as a huge underdog, but this just feels like a gap in talent between these two teams and Louisville has a tendency to flood these bad teams at home. There’s a strong chance that BC is the worst team in the ACC and I think Louisville bounces back from the Duke loss in a big way. Give me the Cardinals.
