Friday afternoon’s UConn-Louisville matchup will shine some light on the Big East; ESPN2 will have their cameras set up at Cardinal Stadium on what should be a beautiful, sunny day. Temperatures in Louisville are expected to reach 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

We’ll probably see a lot of running. The Huskies (4-0 SU, 1-2 ATS) are sixth in the nation with 279.5 rushing yards per game. The Cards (2-1 SU, 1-1 ATS) are No. 27 in that category at 196.7 yards per game, but the Louisville ground game has really taken off since losing the opener to Kentucky. Victor Anderson and Brock Bolen combined for 280 yards in last week’s 38-29 upset over Kansas State (-5.5 on the road).

The freshest lines are available right here. Louisville is getting a lot of love from bettors – could be those six interceptions UConn QB Tyler Lorenzen has thrown. Personally, I like the under on a warm day with all that running around. Get all your NCAA College Football Picks in the Bodog Sportsbook today!
