Bet on Syracuse vs. Louisville
Louisville has responded with a win following its last few losses and it should be able to handle this Syracuse team, which struggles on the road. The Orange have dropped their last two on the road, failing to cover in both instances. Their defense seems to disappear away from the Carrier Dome and their offense will struggle against the Louisville defense.
