Same season records or not, the Cardinals are big 7.5-point favorites for the matchup at BC’s Alumni Stadium. Louisville has lost three of its past four games, but all came to teams ranked in the current AP top 25 poll in No. 12 Notre Dame (31-24), No. 22 SMU (34-27) and No. 6 Miami (52-45). Still, Louisville plays the first of three straight road games and a stretch of four away contests over the team’s final five.

Boston College has fizzled after a fast start and enters this Friday night matchup having lost back-to-back road contests to Virginia (24-14) and Virginia Tech (42-21). The Eagles have lacked explosion in both facets of their offense and they rank No. 95 nationally in total yardage (355.4 ypg).
