Louisville football: Way-too-early 2021 record prediction

Week 11 – @ Duke

Date of game: Thursday, Nov. 18

2020 record: 2-9

Best win: Syracuse

Key losses: QB Chase Brice, RB Deon Jackson, TE Noah Gray, DE Victor Dimukeje, DE Chris Rumph II, S Michael Carter II

Key returners: RB Mataeo Durant, LB Shaka Heyward, CB Jeremiah Lewis, S Marquis Waters

The skinny: Duke was a bad team in 2020 despite having a handful of potential NFL draft picks including two pass rushers that produced 15.5 combined sacks. The Blue Devils will have trouble putting up points with three offensive weapons gone. Duke might be the worst team in the ACC in 2021 and I would expect Louisville to win easily.

Prediction: WIN
