NJIT vs Louisville Prediction
Louisville obviously has the ability to play the doors off, as there’s a talent and an offensive gap. A 40-point win wouldn’t shock anybody. However, NJIT competes defensively and has cashed five tickets already this season. NJIT also has two outright wins as double-digit underdogs, beating Fordham and Loyola Maryland. NJIT plays hard and should be a confident group. Also, this is the last game for Louisville before a lengthy holiday break. A possible letdown spot as kids are likely focused on travel and family time. I’ll take the points with NJIT.
