Louisville -7 (2*)
I am taking Louisville in this contest. Syracuse has only scored 51 and 44 points respectively in their last two games, and they are up against another terrific defensive team in this one. The Orange are shooting an abysmal 41.9% from the field and they are only averaging 65.8 points in their five conference road games this season, plus they have been terrible ATS as of late. The Cardinals are having no problems scoring points, and I like them on their home court in this one. Look for the game to be relatively close and Louisville pulling it out late.
Prediction: Syracuse 60 Louisville 70
Trends:The Syracuse Orange are:
- 1-9-1 ATS in their last 11 games in Louisville.
- 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games.
- 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall.
The Louisville Cardinals are:
- 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games against Syracuse.
- 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss.
- the home team team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings between Louisville and Syracuse.
