Two teams from the ACC will be squaring off when the Louisville Cardinals visit the NC State Wolfpack.
Louisville is coming off of a win and NC State is coming off of a loss.
The Wolfpack opened up as 7 point favorites and that number now sits at 6.5.
Louisville Cardinals
The Cardinals have had a decent season so far. It would be very impressive if they could knock off the Wolfpack.
Louisville beat Boston College last week 28-14. They did exactly what they had to do against a team they are better than.
Malik Cunningham was not very sharp in the win against the Eagles. He was 9/17 for 107 yards and 2 interceptions.
Last Saturday was all about the running game. Cunningham ran the ball 16 times for 133 yards. Trevion Cooley ran the ball 13 times for 112 yards.
The defense has not been great for this team overall. It did look better against Boston College, but that is not exactly a good test. They will be tested a lot when they have to go against a very good offense in NC State.
NC State Wolfpack
NC State has been a pretty good team so far, but they are no longer ranked.
The Wolfpack lost to the Miami Hurricanes 31-30 last Saturday. There was no excuse to lose to a team like Miami. They do not deserve to be ranked after a loss like that.
Devin Leary was 24/42 for 310 yards and 2 touchdown passes last week. He will look to keep up his good season when going against the Cardinals.
Leary did a good job of spreading the football around to a variety of different receivers against Miami. There was not one guy who was getting the majority of catches.
The defense should be very upset with how they played last week. I get that the Hurricanes have some playmakers, but you should not be allowing Tyler Van Dyke to pick you apart. Embarrassing.

Free Week 9 NCAA Football Pick
I think this has the chance to be a very good game. I am really looking forward to it.
I am going with Louisville getting 6.5 points here.
4* Free Week 9 NCAA Betting Pick:
NC State is the better team and they are playing at home. I do think they will win this one, but I am not sold on them winning handily.
Given the weapons the Cardinals have on offense, I definitely think they can keep this game close. This has been a squad that has done well against the spread as of late and I look for that trend to continue.
I do not see this being a defensive type game. I expect there to be points scored. I can see the team with the ball last is the team that wins.
Give me the Cardinals at +6.5 here.
