3. Louisville will beat Houston by at least 20 points on the road

This was supposed to be the premier game on the back end of Louisville’s football schedule, but the Cougars have taken a nose-dive in the middle part of the 2016 season. Houston is currently 7-2, but they have fallen completely out of the top 25 after losses to Navy and SMU.

It’s not looking too good that the Cardinals will be able to sneak into the College Football Playoff this season, therefore I believe they will take their frustrations out on Houston. The best thing Louisville can do is to just annihilate each opponent that they play for the rest of the season. Then, hopefully the committee will have a change of heart and let the Cardinals into the big dance.

However, that may be a far stretch, but I still believe that Louisville is going to go into Houston and prove a point.

Lamar Jackson struggled against them last season, but he is a entirely different quarterback in 2016. Houston hasn’t played a guy of his caliber this season, if ever. This game will get very ugly if you are a Houston Cougars fan.
