Pick

I’m backing Louisville here. As crazy as it may sound. Nothing has swayed me to where I want to lay points with the Hokies, especially double-digits, on the road, against anyone. Louisville is still a 4-win team, but all 4 wins have come at home and they’ve saved some of their best play for down the stretch. I’ll take my shot with the Cardinals and the points here.
