Result: Win
This is a 10* BLOCKBUSTER on Louisville.
For a number of different reasons I expect the visitors to pull away down the stretch for the comfortable ATS cover. Louisville has won two straight and I think will bond on the court after the dismissal of guard Chris Jones. The Cardinals are most recently coming off victories over the Hurricanes and Georgia Tech. Coach Rick Pitino thinks his team can use the Jones incident as a rallying point: "This comes at a time when we're all shocked, extremely disheartened, and very much saddened for everybody involved," Pitino said. "We haven't dealt with this here. They're going to play basketball," he continued. "We all go through these trials and tribulations, with our families, with our friends, seeing loved ones pass, and we've still got to go the next day between the lines, and that's what we are right now. We're between the lines. And we've got to go out and do a great job." Louisville has been resilient of late, it overcame a 10-point halftime deficit and 33.9 percent shooting to beat Miami before then rallying from 13 down to win 52-51 at Georgia Tech on Monday. The Cardinals continue to get the job done with a suffocating defense which has held five of its last seven opponents to fewer than 60 points and four to less than 38.0 percent shooting: "They learned a valuable lesson in the last few games: defense is winning it for them," Pitino said. The Seminoles on the other hand come in with zero momentum after dropping a second straight game, this time an 81-77 setback to Miami on Wednesday. FSU has just one victory in five games vs. ranked opponents this season and has struggled in this spot for bettors all year, a poor 6-8 ATS vs. good defensive teams which allow 64 points or less per contest. And note, this is a position in which Louisville has excelled in the last two seasons, 28-15 ATS off a win vs. a conference rival. In my opinion, the situation, the numbers and the trends do all indeed point to LOUISVILLE as the savvy move in this contest.
