Louisville +4 over Cincinnati
Louisville struggled the last two weeks, but they were on the road and are a much better team at home. This Cardinals team beat South Florida and Kansas State in their home building. Hunter Cantwell has struggled for Louisville, but he is a senior and should keep them in the game tonight. Both teams score about 27 pts per game. This should go down right to the wire take the home team in Louisville.

Cincinnati by 9-10
The 22nd ranked Cincinnati Bearcats (7-2) have overcome a multitude of injuries this season and just get better with each game played. They come into this Big East contest off back-to-back wins over then nationally ranked South Florida, 24-10, and West Virginia, 26-23, and with designs on the conference championship and that automatic $12,000,000 BCS bowl bid that goes with it. This is a team at the top of its game and taking no prisoners and I do not believe Louisville (5-4) has the talent or the will to handle such a determined football team. For the record, Cincinnati’s losses this season came at Oklahoma, 52-26, and later at Connecticut, 40-16, in a game in which it had been crippled by injuries to key skill players.

The Cardinals have got to be happy to be back home for this one, as their last 2 games - both on the road - were losing efforts, as the Cards lost at lowly Syracuse, and were pasted 41-6 last Saturday at Pittsburgh.Louisville will take on a sizzling Cincinnati team that comes into this one off a pair of upset wins over South Florida, and on the road at West Virginia. The West Virginia win saw Cincy blow a big 4th quarter lead, but hold on for the outright in overtime, 26-23. On the road for a second straight week after such an emotional win, I expect the Bearcats to struggle against the desperate 'Ville.Louisville was a 28-24 winner in last year's meeting as the 10-point dog, and they are now 9-1 straight up, and 8-2 against the spread in the last 10 series meetings with the Bearcats.With the 'Ville needing 1 more win to become bowl eligible, I expect Steve Kragthorpe's team to come up with a game effort in this one.
