Louisville vs Stanford Prediction
Stanford just lost to Louisville a couple of days ago by 20 points, and now gets the Cardinals on the end of a back-to-back. Stanford also didn’t look great against Cal, struggling to put the game away despite the Golden Bears playing several overtimes this week. Louisville has been one of the hottest and consistent teams in the country, which includes a profitable 19-12 ATS record.
Louisville has covered three straight double-digit spreads. That Louisville defense should have a field day with a Stanford offense that has trouble finding easy buckets. I’ll lay the big line with Louisville.
