Louisville have had an up-and-down season. The Cardinals faithful hope they have righted the ship as they enter the contest with Wake Forest on a two-game winning streak.

The betting odds and predictions are below:

Wake Forest is in good hands under the guidance of signal-caller Sam Hartman. The Demon Deacons' passing game can beat you in the short area, intermediate and deep.

On the other hand, Louisville poses a different issue for the would-be defense. Malik Cunningham is one of the most dynamic rushers in college football, forcing defenses to focus on keeping him in the pocket. The difference in the two QBs in this one is Sam Hartman is slow and steady, winning from the pocket. Meanwhile, Malik Cunningham is fast and frenetic which causes more highs and lows in his overall play.

Louisville Cardinal vs. Wake Forest Demon Deacons Best Pick:

Either one of the QBs is in play. I thought long and hard about going with Malik Cunningham in either rushing yards or total yards in this one. I'm anticipating a shoot-out in this one, so the game script should be ideal for both signal callers.

I wound up siding with Sam Hartman. Hartman is rock-solid under center for Wake Forest, and the way their offense is humming right now, Sam Hartman feels like the play in this one.

Sam Hartman; Passing Yards: Over 305.5


Louisville Cardinal vs. Wake Forest Demon Deacons Final Prediction

Louisville vs. Wake Forest should make for one of the more entertaining games of the weekend. Malik Cunningham and Sam Hartman toe-to-toe. Cunningham should be able to keep the Cardinal in the game for a while, but Wake Forest is the more complete team on both sides of the ball, and eventually, Sam Hartman makes enough clutch throws to put Wake Forest over the top for good. Take Wake Forest and take the Over.

Wake Forest Demon Deacons: -3.5 (-105)
