I'm taking Louisville + 14.5 tonight.
Stat Fox has this as a power play arguing that the line should be closer to 6.
Louis is returning 10 starters on D, and Insider Edge has the stats on how good they are.
In non-conference games FSU is 2-8 ATS the last 3 yrs.
Since '92, Louis is 5-1 ATS against ACC opponents.
The last 3 yrs Louis is 4-1 ATS as an underdog, and 7-2 ATS against teams w/ a winning record.
Louis covered the last time these teams met in 2000.
FSU has the following injuries: DB Kyler Hall Hand/ankle Questionable Sat. vs Louisville. 9/23 *DB Claudius Osei Achilles Questionable Sat. vs Louisville. 9/23 *LB Jerel Hudson Ankle Questionable Sat. vs Louisville. 9/23 *FB B. J. Dean Knee Questionable Thur. vs Louisville. 9/23; while Lois has none.
If you look at common opponents, Louis beat Duke on the road 40-3, while FSU won against them 48-17 at home.
Lastly, I think both the weather and Louis talking about this game as the biggest in school history will play to their advantage.
