We take a look at our prediction for Louisville Football’s game against Virginia and why they will dominate Virginia.

Louisville Football is currently a 33.5 point favorite over the Virginia Cavaliers on Saturday afternoon. The game is set to kickoff at 12:00pm on ABC or ESPN2, depending on where you live. Lamar Jackson will be looking to stay ahead in the Heisman race and he should have zero problems doing so.

The Cards are looking to advance to 7-1 on the 2016 campaign, while maintaining their top five status in America. The first College Football Playoff rankings come out next week, therefore this would be a solid week for Louisville to get a huge win.

Here is our best shot at predicting what the score will be in the game between the Cards and Cavs:

While predictions are obviously never solid, I think it’s a safe bet that the Cardinals will beat Virginia by more than 33.5 points on Saturday.

The reason is that Virginia has one of the worst defenses in the entire ACC and Louisville is coming off a blow-out win against a solid defense. The Cavaliers are terrible in both stopping the run and pass this year. Knowing that doesn’t give me any reason to believe that the Cavs’ can figure it out against Louisville’s top-rated rushing attack.

Look for James Quick to put together his best performance of the season.
