This Saturday, college football action will take place at Gerald J. Ford Stadium, featuring a matchup between the SMU Mustangs and the Louisville Cardinals. The following is a prediction for the match between Louisville and SMU. In order to establish which Louisville vs. SMU pick is the best, we will examine this situation from the point of view of betting. We are going to look at the current form and player performances of both sides, as well as the previous betting patterns and streaks that are associated with this encounter. Towards the end of this discussion, we will bring everything together by providing a synopsis that generates a rational selection for a betting outcome that is advantageous in this game.

The Cardinals had a strong start to the season, winning their first four games against Eastern Kentucky, James Madison, Bowling Green, and Pitt before suffering a defeat due to overtime against Virginia. Immediately following that, Louisville defeated Miami, Boston College, and Virginia Tech before suffering yet another loss in OT, this time to Cal. Although Louisville was able to force the game into extra time by posting a 10-6 run in the second half, they ultimately ended up losing the game by a score of 29-26. A total of 351 yards were gained by the Cardinals through their offense, which included 16 first downs and a success rate of 6 out of 17 on third downs. Not only did the defense allow 427 yards, but they also allowed 5.8 yards per play.

Louisville suffered yet another close defeat in their most recent encounter, which took place on Friday against Clemson. A touchdown that was not countered by the Cardinals resulted in a 20-19 victory for the Cardinals, who had a 19-13 lead going into the final quarter. Miller Moss completed 19 of 27 passes for 212 yards, and Keyjuan Brown led the rush with 15 carries for 135 yards. Miller Moss was the offensive player of the game. At the end of the game, Chris Bell was the leading receiver with five receptions for 79 yards.

When it comes to SMU, they had a record of 2-2 in their first four matches, with victories over East Texas A&M and Missouri State, but they also suffered defeats at the hands of Baylor and TCU. After that, the Mustangs went on a run of four consecutive victories, with the exception of a loss to Wake Forest. They won over Syracuse, Stanford, Clemson, and Miami. The Hurricanes were defeated by SMU in overtime by a score of 26-20. SMU had a 13-10 lead in the second half of the game, which forced the game into overtime. Even though they finished with 388 total yards, the Mustangs only had 23 yards on the ground and were only three of thirteen on third downs. During the victory, the defense of SMU allowed a total of 433 yards and 23 first downs.

As part of their most recent game, which took place on November 8 against Boston College, the Mustangs scored double-digit points in three of the four quarters of their road game, which resulted in a 45-13 victory for the Mustangs. Quarterback Kevin Jennings completed 16 of 32 passes for 326 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. Although Derrick McFall had three touchdowns on five carries and 64 yards, TJ Harden dominated the rush with 130 yards from 16 carries. Other rushers included Derrick McFall. On seven catches, Yamir Knight had 162 yards and a touchdown, making him the leading receiver in the game.

SMU is the team I’ll be rooting for, but I think this is going to be a pretty good game overall. In either instance, you could make a case for it. During their most recent game, the Mustangs were able to easily defeat Boston College. The defense was able to prevent the Eagles from converting on third downs; they were only able to do so two times out of fifteen times. When it came to third-down attempts, the offense was successful 8 times out of 14 times, which resulted in a staggering 574 yards. It was not without its flaws, however, as SMU was responsible for 13 penalties that totaled 155 yards. Since their defeat at the hands of Wake Forest by a score of 13-12 on October 25, the Mustangs have enjoyed a couple of successful games.

In Louisville’s most recent defeat to Clemson, the Cardinals were only successful on two out of eleven third downs, although they did have sixteen first downs and ten penalties as a team. The defense, on the other hand, produced a work that was pretty solid overall. If the Cards are able to clean up their act, I think this will be a matchup that is competitive. It is going to be a really entertaining game to watch; Louisville has their job cut out for them if they want to avoid losing their next three games in a row.
