Louisville isn't in mid-season form offensively but the defense is suffocating opponents, as usual. They had a 78-47 season-opening victory over Evansville on Friday and held William & Mary to 58 points the last game. The Cardinals have 21 blocks in two games, led by forward Mangok Mathiang's seven, along with 20 steals. Louisville is 25-9-2 UNDER the total at home. That smothering defense will be a huge problem for road-weary Long Beach State. The 49ers trailed North Carolina 14-0 and went nearly eight minutes before scoring their first points. This is the third straight road contest for Long Beach State, shooting 31% and 36.4% the last two games. This one stays UNDER.

Pro Picks
Long Beach State at Louisville
The Louisville Cardinals took their 11-0 record and took on the nation's best team at home in Kentucky, a game they thought they could win. They fought hard, expended a lot of energy both physically and emotionally, but in the end fell by 8 points. The aftermath is a game vs. Long beach, a team they are far superior to, but mentally and emotionally I just don't expect much to be there for this game. At 0-8 on the road, Long Beach is not going to get their attention, but the 49ers have covered both of their road games as a large dog of 14 points or more, and will catch the Cardinals in a huge letdown spot for this one. Louisville is not good after a loss where they own a 4-10 ATS mark in their last 14. Grab the points on Long Beach State.
