No. 20 Duke @ No. 18 Louisville (-4) (O/U 46.5)

Evan: Too much confusion with the quarterback situation at Duke and they burned me bad last week against FSU. I truly do not know much about Louisville’s football team, but they’re getting my pick here. Louisville -4

Justin: Duke absolutely collapsed last week. Is that the start of them coming back to normal? Probably not, but this is still a tough game for them. Louisville -4

Ethan: Don’t listen to Justin. Duke is broken. Louisville hasn’t looked great, but I trust them a lot more after the way they handled Notre Dame a couple of weeks ago. Let’s go with the Cardinals here. Louisville -4

John: I’ll keep this one simple, if Riley Leonard doesn’t play, this is an easy cover for Louisville. Things are up in the air right now, but after re-aggravating his injury last week, I have to think Leonard is sitting out. Ergo, I’m going with the Cards. Louisville -4

Andrew: yeah it hinges on Leonard, and I don’t think he’s playing. Louisville has some major flaws, and Duke’s D might give them issues. But can Duke score? Louisville-4

Ryan: Duke will not cover this small of a number without Riley Leonard. Plain and simple. Louisville should win by a TD or more. Louisville -4
