This is a 10* TOTAL BLOCKBUSTER on the UNDER between Louisville and Notre Dame.
For a number of different reasons I expect this total to sneak below the posted number once the final whistle sounds. Louisville moved into the 24th spot in the latest College Football Playoff rankings, while Notre Dame fell out of the AP Top 25, a victim of its own mistakes of late. Note that the Cardinals will be without their top QB, freshman Reggie Bonnafon will get the start in place of Will Gardner who sustained a season-ending knee injury in his team's 38-19 win at Boston College on November 8th; Bonnafon was 4 of 5 for 69 yards and two TD's after coming in late in the first half. But despite being down a big offensive piece, note that Louisville is set to welcome back two key defenisve players from injury in senior LB Lorenzo Mauldin and DL Pio Vatuvei. Notre Dame is struggling defensively of late, yielding an average of 42.2 PPG over its last five, but note that the Fighting Irish have been plagued by turnovers the past seven games, all of the sloppy play culminating in last week's 43-40 OT loss to Northwestern last week. I think the Irish come to play this week though, last weeks effort was obviously inexcusable, but note that ND has seen the total dip below the posted number in six of its last seven vs. ACC opponents and in 21 of its last 31 non-conference games. And note that Louisville has seen the total go UNDER the number in four of five road games this year and in 11 of its last 15 in the same position over the last two. I think the situation and the trends do indeed clearly point to the UNDER as the sharp move here.
