1. Louisville's playmakers lead them to victory

Louisville's offensive playmakers will be too much for the Panthers to handle. Last year, Louisville's offense was nearly unstoppable, and this year, they are poised for a similar outcome. Chris Bell had just two catches but for 101 yards, including his 68-yard touchdown that put Louisville up 34-0 in last year's dominant performance. Caullin Lacy has proven to be one of Louisville's best offensive and special teams weapons this year, and with the Cardinals' rushing attack a little thin, Louisville will make sure to get him the ball even more this game.

Louisville's rushing attack is obviously banged up, but if Brown or Watson are good to go, then either one would be due for a massive game against a Panthers defense that likes to blitz. Similar to the James Madison game, expect a slow start, but one or two big runs from a running back to break this game open. Moss is to be able to read the Panthers' defense and pick up on the pressure quicker, but with Louisville's elite playmakers, he should have a solid day.
