Scouting report

Sprinkle's read:Over 55.5 total★★★

A total these offenses can clear

These two combine for 70.4 points a game against a 55.5 total, and the over is the play.

The number

The number sits 14.9 points under their combined average.

The decider

Syracuse are without Malachi Nelson at quarterback (out); Syracuse are without Amari Odom at quarterback (out), and a quarterback change moves every number on this page. Louisville's offense meets a Syracuse defense that has been average; the edge in that matchup belongs to Louisville. Louisville score 38.7 a game and Syracuse allow 25.7.

The context

Louisville have been the cleaner team with the ball, and in a close game that is usually the difference.

Situational

Louisville are missing Hamilton Atkins (TE), Travis Egan (TE) — worth a notch of caution.
