For just the second time this season, Louisville is set to kick off a game as an underdog.
According to DraftKings Sportsbook, Miami is a 1-point favorite to take down the 10th-ranked Cardinals Saturday afternoon at Hard Rock Stadium. Louisville took down then-No. 10 Notre Dame, 33-20, in October the only other time that they played as an underdog in 2023.
The stakes for Saturday’s game are enormous for Louisville. A win locks up a spot for them in the ACC Championship Game two weeks from now. It also guarantees the Cardinals a 10-win season for the first time since 2013 and for just the seventh time in program history.
