– All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Virginia vs Louisville Game Preview

Why Virginia Will Win

The Louisville pass defense isn’t a total disaster, but it’s the worst in the ACC.

To be fair, playing Ole Miss, UCF, and Wake Forest had something to do with that, but Florida State was able to throw for 248 yards, too.

Welcome to Virginia.

This isn’t the slow-and-stodgy Cavalier team we’re all used to. QB Brennan Armstrong and the passing game are bombing away with close to 2,000 yards in the first five games and now it’s time to crank up.

Louisville isn’t doing enough against the run, either – the overall D is the worst in the ACC – and the Cavs proved in the win over Miami that it could be a bit balanced, too.

Why Louisville Will Win

Virginia doesn’t have a massive turnover problem, but it has a turnover margin issue.

The defense hasn’t come up with any takeaways in the last two games and has just three on the year. Again, the turnovers aren’t a massive issue, but the Cavaliers have yet to win the turnover battle and are -4 on the year.

For all of the issues on defense, Louisville has been able to keep up the pace after the loss to Ole Miss. The offense is terrific at controlling the tempo, Virginia’s D is lousy on third downs, and keeping the ball for at least 35 minutes is possible.

What’s Going To Happen

Can Louisville get that one key win to jumpstart the season?

It might be 3-2, but lose this, and it might be tough to get three more wins to go bowling without an upset or three.

For all of the high-octane fun, Virginia has problems putting games away. It couldn’t get past North Carolina and Wake Forest, and it needed a missed field goal against a D’Eriq King-less Miami to get by.

Louisville is a wee bit more effective in a blast of an offensive showdown.

Why Louisville Will Win

The Cardinals might be having a rough season, but the offense still works, and the team has been battling hard through a rough slate. Yeah, it’s 2-5, but it played three straight road games and had to deal with two tough Miami and Virginia Tech teams at home.

The secondary hasn’t been all that bad. It’s partly because everyone runs all over the Cardinal defensive front, but it should be able to handle the Virginia passing game.

The Cavaliers are last in the ACC in downfield passing, and on the flip side, their defense is last in pass defense. For all of the problems, the Cardinals are able to throw with three 300-yard games, and this should be the fourth as long as Malik Cunningham gets hot early.

However …

– Week 11 Schedule, Predictions, Lines

Why Virginia Will Win

Louisville has a massive turnover problem. It has yet to win the turnover battle and is a -11 overall. Just when things started to get better after giving it up 11 times in the first four games, three picks against Virginia Tech were a killer.

No, Virginia doesn’t throw the ball down the field at all – averaging just 10.4 yards per completion – but it can get the midrange attack working. It’s nothing flashy, but it’s enough to control the clock for almost 33 minutes a game helped by a nice season by the offensive front.

Louisville doesn’t have enough of a pass rush to be a big problem.

What’s Going To Happen

It’ll be all about the turnover battle. Louisville might be awful when it comes to giveaways, but Virginia isn’t all that much better.

This is one of the road games the Cardinals have to win, but every time it looks like it’s about to be strong, something goes wrong.

Both teams are struggling, but they’re even enough to make this a fun, competitive game. Virginia will have the ball more, it’ll be better on third downs, and it’ll be a +1 in turnover margin. That will be just enough to squeak by.
