Louisville Cardinals vs Clemson Tigers prediction
The Clemson Tigers are the better, more talented team and should win this game comfortably, but they’re also in a bit of a funk where the defense has taken a bit of a step back recently. The Louisville Cardinals don’t do much of anything right on either side of the ball, but they have covered 4 of their last 6 games overall. Also, Louisville has covered 6 of the last 9 games against Clemson. This is a lot of points to lay with a struggling Clemson team. It’s Louisville or pass for me.
