They are 6-0 in their home games, 5-0 in their road games, and they are also 1-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at a neutral site for this game.

The current betting odds have Louisville listed as a 2.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. This game will be the ACC Championship between Louisville and Florida State with this game being at a neutral site. Florida State has looked really good in their games this season with their 12-0 record overall which is the best in the conference and their 8-0 conference record too. Meanwhile, Louisville has also looked really good this season with their 10-2 record overall and their 7-1 conference record. They have also played 2 games at neutral sites this season and they have won both. Louisville lost their game last week against their rival Kentucky and that was a crushing loss for them but they are going to regroup for this game as they look to bounce back and finish their season with the ACC Championship. Florida State has had a great season but the injury to their starting QB Jordan Travis is going to hurt them a lot in this game since they didn't look great on offense last week with Rodemaker running the show. They found a way to get by a struggling Florida team without their starting QB but those offensive problems will creep up again in this game and Louisville does have the offense to bury them. The best way to place a bet here is on Louisville to cover the spread in this game. 

Louisville Florida State Prediction:  Our NCAAF Pick for Saturday, December 2, 2023 (8:00 pm ET start time) is Louisville 27 Florida State 20.
