T.M. Selection: Louisville.

I like Louisville to cover the spread against the Clemson in this game on Saturday. Louisville has lost 7 games in a row but I think they are going to stop the bleeding here. Their 2 most recent games they have looked much better in and have kept those games closer with good defense too. I think Louisville will have a better time playing well on defense on their home court here and Clemson is actually lower in the standings than they are. Louisville has lost 4/5 of their previous 5 games to teams that are in the top 4 of this conference at the moment. I think they will catch a break here with Clemson and they should be able to get this win. Clemson is 2-7 in road games this year and they actually have a worse record than Louisville does in conference play. Clemson hasn't looked great lately either losing 5 games in a row and 2/3 of their previous 3 losses were by 10+ points. Clemson has also given up 75+ points to the opposing team in 4 games in a row and I think their lack of defense here will be the nail in their coffin. Louisville will play better on their home court and their defensive play has also been a lot better and I think that will give them an edge in this game. I like Louisville to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 73-65 Louisville.
