Louisville
The Cardinals are 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall. Louisville is 3-1-1 ATS in its last five road games.
Georgia Tech
The Yellow Jackets are 34-16-1 ATS in their last 51 road games. Georgia Tech is 2-6 ATS in its last seven games as a home underdog.
Prediction:
Louisville has shown the ability to beat good teams on the road including the likes of Duke, while its only road defeat is an overtime setback at in-state rival Kentucky. I’m going to side with the better team here as the Cardinals should be focused after only defeating Georgia Tech 68-64 at home. The Yellow Jackets are not very good on the offensive end and has not fared very well for the most part in games against the best teams on their schedule. Go with the favorites in this spot.
