The current betting odds have Louisville listed as a 20 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Louisville has looked good in their games this season with their 6-3 record overall and their 4-2 conference record which has them near the top of the ACC. They have been having a good season, but this isn't the same team that went to the ACC Championship last season and they aren't going to get back this year with the state of the conference at the moment. They have looked good in their road games though with their 3-1 road record and they are coming off a big road win over Clemson in their last one, now coming out of their bye week too. Meanwhile, Stanford has looked terrible in their games this season with their 2-7 record overall and their 1-5 conference record which has them right near the bottom of the ACC. They haven't looked any better in their home games with their 1-4 home record and they are coming off a terrible 59-28 loss to NC State in their last one. They got off to a better start to the season, winning their first ever ACC game, but they haven't won a game against an ACC opponent since then and their defense has been giving up a ton of points. The travel back and forth between the East coast and the West coast has also take a toll on them. Louisville doesn't have a great chance to get to the ACC Championship with 2 conference losses and 3 teams ahead of them, but anything can happen these last few weeks and they are still in the running for now so they are going to be motivated to win. They can't afford to lose another game this season though so expect them to bring their best effort here and they have had extra time to prepare with their bye week. The best way to place a bet here is on Louisville to cover the spread in this game.

“Our players and coaches fought all week. It hasn't been perfect, it hasn't been easy, but we continued to grind. We have guys that continue to step up and play hard.” - Jeff Brohm after his team’s win against Clemson in their last game. 

“We just weren’t able to really slow them down. There were a number of issues, but they were good in all areas. If you’re them, you come away thinking you played as good as you can offensively. We’ve got to do something to pressure the quarterback and stop the run. Just the fundamental things that you’ve got to do to be a good team.” - Troy Taylor after his team’s loss against NCSU in their last game.
