Louisville at Virginia (Saturday, October 29th, Time TBA)

Again, this would be a better match-up in the Yum Center, rather than having the football team travel to Virginia to take on the Cavaliers. These guys are just plain bad right now. There is no doubt about it.

Virginia has started the season 0-3 after losing their first two of three games on the road. Here are the results of their first three games.

  1. Loss to Richmond, 37-20
  2. Loss to Oregon, 44-26
  3. Loss to UCONN, 13-10

You know what, I take it back. Virginia might be the worst team in the ACC this season, not Duke. The good news for Louisville is that they get to play both of them this season.

Louisville beat the Cavaliers 38-31 in Papa Johns last season, but Lamar Jackson did not start or finish the game at quarterback. With Jackson at the helm, he should be adding to his Heisman-worthy stats by this point in the 2016 season.

Next: Boston College

Again, Louisville wins this game easily.
