Cardinals Host Clemson in Crucial ACC Matchup

The Louisville Cardinals face a crucial test on Saturday, when they open their home schedule with a visit from the defending national champion Clemson Tigers. The Cardinals have buried a three-game SU slide with a pair of season-Sportsbook wins, while the Tigers allowed just nine total points over two home victories to open their campaign.

Shark Bites
  • The total has gone OVER in five of Louisville’s last six games in September.
  • Louisville is 7-1 ATS in its last eight games in Week 3.
  • The total has gone OVER in six of Clemson’s last eight games.

The Cardinals have won seven straight SU at home against ACC rivals, but have been a general betting disappointment, going 4-7 ATS in 11 conference matchups, and 2-8-1 ATS in their past 11 games overall.

The Tigers have yet to surrender a touchdown in SU and ATS wins over Kent State and Auburn to start their national title defense. Clemson has now allowed seven or fewer points in four of six games, but has given up 22.6 points per game over its past five away from Memorial Stadium, with the point total finishing OVER in four of those outings.

Clemson is also unbeaten in three meetings with the Cardinals since they joined the ACC in 2014, including a 20-17 win as 5-point chalk in its last visit to Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium two years ago.
