Our SMU Mustangs vs Louisville Cardinals Prediction
SMU is a small favorite in this game, but still looks to be the best betting option. The Mustangs have just one conference loss this season, a one-point loss to Wake Forest. That being said, they still have the opportunity to control their destiny in the ACC, and if they can win out, they will have a chance to play in the ACC Championship.
Louisville, on the other hand, once looked like a team that could play in the ACC Championship, but has since lost their last two games in a row. Losses to California and Clemson have seriously derailed their season, so with SMU playing much better at this point in time, our Louisville Cardinals vs SMU Mustangs prediction is: SMU Mustangs ML.All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
