Louisville vs Cincinnati CBB Picks
I feel like Louisville is constantly disappointing this season but they only have 4 losses and a #5 next to their name despite the fact that they are looking up at Cincinnati in the standings of the AAC.

Louisville vs UCF CBB Picks
The defending champs have looked ready to defend their title this season. Losses to Kentucky on the road, and North Carolina at a neutral site, show this team is not as strong as last year’s edition but they have been obliterating every one else on their schedule.
Louisville vs Kentucky NCAA Basketball Gambling Lines
The sixth-ranked Louisville Cardinals will make the trip to over to Lexington and to legendary Rupp Arena where they will take on their in-state rivals, the 18th-ranked Kentucky Wildcats in a matchup of the last two national champions.
Louisville vs. Miami College Football Spread/Handicapping
I think that Louisville might be the lowest ranked one-loss “major conference” team in history with an #18 next to their name heading into this one.
Louisville vs Cincinnati College Football Spread/Handicapping
The fact that neither of these teams are at the top of the American Athletic Conference standings right now says a lot about the depth of the league in their first year as this league could easily finish the regular season with three teams with double digit win totals.
Memphis vs Louisville NCAA Football Handicapping
The 21st-ranked Louisville Cardinals look to continue their quest for retribution after their loss to Central Florida when they host the Memphis Tigers in a showdown matchup in The American.
Houston vs. Louisville College Football Spread/Handicapping
When the Conference USA teams joined the American Athletic it was supposed to make it a pretty diluted league this season – but I doubt Louisville is thinking that right now. They have already been beaten once by former CUSA champ in Central Florida and if they are not careful another one, Houston, will beat them up too.
Louisville vs UConn College Football Spread/Handicapping
Louisville has fallen pretty far off the national radar since losing to UCF a few weeks back. This week they travel to a winless UConn team – yes I was surprised by that too as this is usually a middle of the pack program.
Louisville vs South Florida NCAA Football Spread/Handicapping
The Louisville Cardinals have found their way to a No. 8 ranking in the college football polls after an impressive 6-1 start to the 2013 season.
UCF vs Louisville NCAA Football Spread/Handicapping
The Central Florida Knights arrive in Louisville fresh off a win and aiming to make their mark in a key American Athletic Conference bout on Friday night.
Ohio vs Louisville NCAA Football Spread/Handicapping
Louisville is getting about as much preseason buzz as the program ever has heading into this season and it is for good reason.
Handicapping AAC Football
The brand new American Athletic Conference should be pretty competitive in its first season. I see a couple of teams that could finish 11-1, with the favourite Louisville Cardinals reaching that record and possibly being joined by Cincinnati too.
2013-14 NCAA Previews (AAC) – Cardinals
Everyone is expecting the Louisville Cardinals to exit Big East (I had to) on top. They were the best team a year ago and have the best quarterback, coach and roster top to bottom. Everything seems to pointing their way except for the fact that other programs may be highly motivated to beat them given the circumstances.
Louisville vs Michigan Final 4 Betting!
I know I am supposed to write about Louisville but I have to throw some love to the Wichita State Shockers here. They pushed the Cardinals more than anybody expected and could easily have won the game.
Duke vs Louisville Final 4 Betting!
There was a lot of talk this season about how there wasn’t a dominant team in the college game. Louisville is making us second guess all of that rhetoric.
Duke vs Louisville March Madness Betting!
The final score of Louisville vs. Oregon probably didn’t tell the true story of the game. It looked kind of close but really the Cardinals were in control – no surprise.

Louisville
For bettors it was a disappointment as the Cards failed to cover for the first time in the tournament.
Now they square off against Duke, a team they lost to back in November…when they were missing center Georgui Dieng.

Guard Russ Smith was fantastic once again scoring 31 points even though he made just one three pointer. He made 12 of 14 from the free throw line showing the versatility to his game – I am not sure the Blue Devils have a good counter for him defensively.
It seems like every tournament game a new face steps forward for Louisville. Against the Ducks it was sophomore guard Kevin Ware, who more than doubled his seasonal average with 11 points.
To demonstrate how unlikely that was – it was his first double digit game since the first game of the season.
Louisville continues to roll and the fact that they did not beat Oregon by 20 probably makes them even more valuable in this one. They are playing great but you have to think that there are some who are going to see that loss to Duke and get on the Blue Devils to bring this one down further.
Let’s hope so.
Duke
I thought Friday night would be the end of the line for Duke. Michigan State fights you in a way that most teams don’t and I thought Duke wouldn’t be able to respond. I certainly did not see them being able to get the Spartans bigs off their games the way they did, holding them to 30% shooting from the field. [ad-6571516]
If they still have something left in their tank they are going to need it all to beat Louisville one more time and earn a trip to the Final Four.
Guard Seth Curry had a fantastic shooting game in leading the Dookies over MSU but I don’t see that happening against Louisville this time around. He was 3 for 11 in that early season victory, a game where center Mason Plumlee was the top scorer.
Plumlee will definitely find it harder this time around and the Blue Devils will likely need to get at least some production from their bench. In the victory over LU only 3 of 76 points came from subs.
It’s Duke so you can’t run your mouth off and say they can’t win…they almost always do. Still I think it will be much harder for them to do what they did again in this game.
Louisville is looking super hungry and their defense is better now than the last time they played.
It is hard to beat a team that good twice.
Spread Pick: Louisville -3.5
O/U Pick: Under
Score Prediction: Louisville 69 – Duke 62
