The Louisville Cardinals are 7-1 SU and 4-3-1 ATS on the season. They are 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine games as a home favorite and defeated Boston College by 12 points on the road last time out.

The Virginia Tech Hokies are 8-1 SU and 5-4 ATS on the season. This will however be their first true road game after seven home games and two at neutral court. The Hokies are 1-4 ATS in their last five games as a road underdog and 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games as an underdog overall.

I think Virginia Tech will struggle to get easy buckets against this Louisville team that has the 32nd scoring defense in the nation and 33rd defensive field goal percentage.

Louisville will also most likely have an advantage at the charity stripe as VT has made only 69.7% of its free throws while Louisville is shooting 74.2% from the free-throw line.
