Best Bet of the Day
NCAAF: Louisville Cardinals -20 over Virginia Cavaliers (-110)
Louisville has a lock on second place in the ACC standings, and with only this game and a trip to Miami remaining on the conference slate, the Cardinals are in great shape to make an appearance in Charlotte for the conference title game. They have posted consecutive victories by more than 20 points. For the Cavaliers (2-7), the season on the whole has been a struggle. The Wahoos were smoked at home by a very pesky Georgia Tech team last weekend. They are weak on defense, while Louisville boasts a powerful, well-balanced offense. The Cardinals can run the ball effectively and their passing attack is also potent. This should be a beatdown. Check out our full Virginia vs Louisville predictions.

Reporter: “If he’s not medically cleared, how come doubtful versus out?”
Eberflus: “Yeah, just to see. We gotta give him one more day; give him one more day. But he’s working hard and it’s getting better every day. So we’ll see where it goes.”
Reporter: “He’s not playing tomorrow?”
Eberflus: “Yeah he’s not playing.”
