Result: Win
This is an 8* BLOCKBUSTER on Houston.
REASONING: We think the Cougars can ride the wave of emotion in front of the home town crowd and keep this one a lot closer than what the bookmakers are leading us to believe. Louisville is 9-1 SU and 5-4 ATS, while Houston is 8-2 SU and 4-6 ATS. When these teams played last year, the Cougars came out on top 34-31. Louisville has suddenly been thrust back into the converastion as far as earning a spot in the College Football playoffs after winning last week, with a few others ahead of them losing. Last week though Louisville struggled, it was down 12-3 at half time and 12-10 at the start of the fourth quarter, before then going on to outscore the Demon Deacons 34-0 in the final frame. QB Lamar Jackson was just 14 of 26 for 145 yards and a TD, but he did also rush for 153 yards. Louisville is still ranked 1st in the nation in scoring with an average of 49.6 PPG, while the defense is ranked 16th in points allowed at 20.3 PPG. The Cougars clearly won't be rolling over today though, they're looking to play spoiler. Houston has won all five games at home this year by an average of 17.7 PPG and we think it can go toe-to-toe with the Cardinals high-octane unit. Note that Houston ranks 22nd in scoring at 27.6 PPG, while the defense is ranked 25th in points allowed, giving up just 21.3 PPG. And finally note that Louisville is just 1-3 ATS this year when playing with six or less days rest, while Houston is a perfect 7-0 ATS in its last seven when playing the role of underdog. Grab as many points as you can, play on the COUGARS.
