Arkansas State at Louisville

The Louisville Cardinals are off a big win vs. Butler, but Arkansas State isn't exactly a team that is going to get them the same focus, especially with the Holiday retreat beckoning. The Cards have additional problems with Marra lost for the season, Siva doubtful and Buckles and Blackshear out a few more weeks. Normally, this line would be more than fair but a shorthanded team off a big win and an unmotivated opponent spells letdown. The Red Wolves are a slow paced methodical team and knowing their opponent will attempt to shorten the game even further. Their four games have averaged 118 total points and getting a bundle of points puts them on the right side of this one. Arkansas State gets the call.
