Florida International at Louisville

Rick Pitino has his Louisville Cardinals off to a 6-0 start and are ranked #5 in the country. They play 94 feet on the defensive end and have an All-American rim protector in Montrezl Harrel. The Cards are off their biggest game of the season, a 9-point win over Ohio State and have another big game on deck in the Big-10 vs. Indiana. This could certainly be a flat spot for Louisville vs. Florida International, playing to a huge number. FIU comes in at a respectable 5-3 and have a couple of scorers in Mavin and Diaz that should help them from getting completely blown out. With a line this high there is always the danger of a backdoor cover by the Golden Panthers. The Golden Panthers come in at 3-0-1 ATS in their last four when following a 20+ point win, and have enough to stay inside a huge number vs. a Louisville team taking a breather. Take the points on Florida International.
