Louisville vs. Stanford picks and predictions
Prediction
Louisville 41, Stanford 14
Moneyline
PASS.
Louisville (-1400) will win this game comfortably, which is why you should take your wager to the spread.
Against the spread
BET LOUISVILLE -20.5 (-110).
Louisville enters this game after a bye week and riding a 2-game win streak, including a road victory over Clemson. Meanwhile, Stanford has dropped 6 straight games, with a defense that has allowed 40+ points in 3 of its last 4 outings. The Cardinal have also failed to cover in their last 10 November home games. Louisville has covered in 5 of its last 6 November road games against unranked teams. Stanford’s defense gives up an average of 34.6 points per game, and with recent struggles, it’s hard to back them here. Take Louisville to win on the road.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 57.5 (-110).
Louisville and Stanford are trending in opposite directions for totals, with the Cardinals hitting the over in 6 of 9 games and the Cardinal hitting the under in 6 of 9. The line is set at 58.5, reflecting expectations for Louisville to dominate and Stanford to control the clock. Stanford has gone under in 2 of its last 3 games, while Louisville has gone 2-2 in their last 4. With Stanford focusing on a run-heavy offense and Louisville not needing a huge margin for the playoffs, the Over seems unlikely. Louisville’s focus will shift to securing a bowl game rather than running up the score.
