LOUISVILLE (-6.5)  34   Southern Methodist  25

SMU has been a bit better than I expected so far this season but Louisville is better on both sides of the ball and outplayed Notre Dame in last week’s loss to the Irish with 434 yards at 5.8 yards per play to 282 yards at 5.4 yppl.

Louisville has averaged 7.3 yppl in 3 games against FBS teams that would combine to allow just 5.5 yppl to an average offense and the Cardinals have yielded only 5.5 yppl to FBS opponents that would combine to average 6.4 yppl against an average defense.

SMU has been 0.4 yppl better than average offensively and 0.5 yppl better than average defensively. The Mustangs are a good team but not as good as Louisville, who my math favors by 9.3 points.
