West Virginia at Louisville

The Mountaineers have done a good job this season and come into this one with a 15-5 mark. They are what I call a "tweener" team. They are better than many of the good teams in the conference, but not nearly as good as the heavyweights at the top. They lost to Pitt by 12 at home, to UConn by six at home, and to Marquette by 22 points on the road. Louisville is on the level of those three teams, and Louisville may be the best of the lot. The Cards have run off eight-straight wins, running the table in the Big East (7-0) with five of the seven wins coming by double-digits. This one should be another 10+ point Louisville win, and I'm backing the Cards at home here.
