LOUISVILLE ?15 - The Cardinals are off to a fine 5-1 start, and I think that they will be able to run up the score here on a porous Tulane defense. Louisville is averaging an impressive 32.5 points and 461.7 total yards of offense per contest. More importantly, they have shown excellent balance, averaging 199.7 yards on the ground and 262.0 yards in the air. They should take full advantage of a Green Wave defense that is allowing 38.5 points and an extremely generous 493.3 total yards per contest. Granted, Tulane has one of the better passing attacks in the nation, but they are going up against a good Louisville defense that is allowing only 18.5 points per game. The last time these clubs met, Louisville blew out the Green Wave 52-7. While this game may not be quite THAT lopsided, I do like the Cardinals to win comfortably by at least 3 touchdowns.
