Louisville vs Washington Preview & Picks
Washington are tipped to cover as an underdog in the Sun Bowl.
Louisville’s offense was red-hot during the season, but their starting quarterback and top receiver are among a long list of opt outs and that makes them tough to back here.
- Louisville are 3-6-0 ATS in their last 9 games
- Louisville are 2-4-0 ATS away from their home stadium
- The Under has cashed in 8 of Washington’s last 12 games
Head To Head
- This will be the first ever meeting between the two teams
Louisville Form
Louisville missed out on the ACC Championship Game, but secured a Bowl Game invite by compiling an 8-4 record.
The Cardinals opened by going 3-1 in non-conference action, but suffered early setbacks in ACC as they lost two of their first three games.
They sandwiched a 24-20 win at Virginia with home defeats to SMU, 34-27, and Miami, 52-45, before rebounding to beat Boston College 31-27 and Clemson 33-21 on the road.
However, Louisville failed to make it three wins in a row, losing 38-35 at Stanford to end their hopes of the making the ACC’s big game.
The Cardinals did at least end the regular season on a positive note though, beating Pitt 37-9 and Kentucky 41-14.
Washington Form
Washington endured a rough first season in the Big Ten, but a 6-6 record did ensure a Bowl Game appearance.
The Huskies won two of their three non-conference games, and then enjoyed a winning debut in their new conference as they beat Northwestern 24-5.
They lost three of their next four though, with their only victory being the 27-17 success against defending national champions Michigan.
Washington rallied with a 26-21 win over USC, only to then suffer a 35-6 defeat at the hands of Penn State.
The Huskies responded with a 31-19 victory against UCLA, but they again failed to follow up a win as they lost their regular season finale at Oregon, 49-21.
Verdict
Louisville have been hit hard by transfer portal and opt-outs due to the NFL Draft.
With an experienced QB at the controls we are not expecting this offense to be as lethal as it was in the regular season, so give us the Huskies and the free points.
