Game Analysis

Spread at 3.5 is the only actionable signal here — 14.8% of college football games land on exactly 3, so the half-point hook gives Louisville a structural edge. No line movement, no injury data, no team-specific model available. This is a pure key-number play with minimal conviction. Totals and moneyline are speculative at best.
