Louisville Cardinals over Notre Dame Fighting Irish: The name ND combined with freshman QB Bonnafon has this line at a point that creates value. Louis is off a bye giving their QB more time to get settled. Bonnafon is not spectacular but a good athlete and is able to manage the game. ND had big aspirations which were crushed in their loss to Flor St back on Oct 18th. They are still hungover from that. A terrible loss last week at home to Nwestern in OT compounded by a horrible coaching decision has ND 1-3 s/u in their last 4.

Regardless of the offenses this play is more about the defense. Nd on defense is leaking badly while Louis is ranked 10th in the nation. Some believe Nd will have a bounce back game at home today I do not see it. This late in the year defenses do not usually turn it around. On a day where the weather could be nasty the ground game becomes more important along with defense and that all favors Louis in a potentiaaly low scoring game.
