Duke at Louisville (Friday, October 14th, 8:00pm)

This is definitely a better match-up on the basketball court than it is on the football field. Louisville is going to smash the Blue Devils in their first game back to Papa Johns Cardinals Stadium in almost a month. After losing their starting quarterback to start the season, Duke has been struggling ever since.

The Blue Devils currently sit at 1-2 after consecutive losses to Wake Forest and Northwestern. They just might have the worst record in the ACC this season as the rest of their schedule looks like this:

  • @ Notre Dame
  • Virginia
  • Army
  • @ Louisville
  • Georgia Tech
  • Virginia Tech
  • UNC
  • @ Pittsburgh
  • @ Miami

If you can find one solid win in there, be sure to let us know the in comment section because that looks brutal. The Blue Devils have a couple of solid players on offense in Jela Duncan and Anthony Nash, but as usual, Louisville’s defense will be the factor in keeping the Cardinals in games or allowing the offense to put up crazy numbers against the other team.

Next: NC State

Louisville wins this one easy.
