3* - Louisville (-20.5)
3* - Pittsburgh/Louisville Over (65.5)
1* - Louisville & Over
I know, it?s a lot of chalk but the Cards have been absolute MONEY at home, covering all three games played at the Pizza Palace this season by averaging 63.7 points in those contests. Dating back to last season, the Red Birds are an unbelievable 9-0 ATS their last nine games at Papa John?s and were double digit favorites in all of those covers. While USC leads the nation in scoring, Louisville is a close 2nd place with nearly 47 points per game and that average is actually knocked down as the result of their shockingly poor 14 point performance against South Florida. Will the Cards score at least their season average tonight at home? No question.
Pitt has been playing better of late but could they really have played any worse than their butt-ugly start to the season? They have now won three in a row but those wins were all on their home field and not one of those three opponents is above .500 on the season. Wanny?s boys have yet to win a road game this season and only scored 6 points at Ohio U and 10 points at Nebraska. If you think that Pitt has at least three touchdowns in their bag of tricks tonight (which I do) then you also have to like the Over here as well.
