The current betting odds have Louisville listed as a 13 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Louisville has not been winning a lot of their games but they have been playing well in some close battles. They just lost at home by 4 points to FSU and they had the lead in that game as it was very back and forth. They had a chance to come away with the win and didn't, but they will be hungry to bounce back here while this will be a bit of a let down for South Florida. USF just lost to Florida on the road in a very close game, losing by 3 points but they even had the lead in the 4th quarter of that game. USF wanted to win badly and they put a lot of effort and emotion into that game, they are due for a let down here against a hungry team. Louisville has the talent to be good and Malik Cunningham has not been bad in their games either. They will get it together for this game at home and get the win in a blowout against USF who is still going to be thinking about that close loss to Florida. The best way to place a bet here is on Louisville to cover the spread in this game.
