Morehead State vs Louisville Prediction
I’m not excited to get behind Morehead State in this spot, as Louisville is one of the best teams in the country and is capable of blowing the doors off many opponents. However, Morehead State has a program that’s used to winning and shouldn’t be scared of the moment. It’s early in the season when guys are still getting their feet under them. Also, this could be a look-ahead spot for the Cardinals with Memphis lurking. We saw Chattanooga hang around with Louisville in its season opener and had success defensively. Morehead State should be able to get this win within the number. Give me the points.
