Louisville faces off with No. 1 Alabama in Orlando in a neutral site affair on Saturday night and in our opinion, this one has "blowout" written all over it. The Cardinals finished 8-5 last year, eventually losing 31-27 to Mississippi State in the TaxSlayer Bowl. The Crimson Tide were 13-1 and they'd go on to beat Georgia 26-23 in OT in the title game. Note that these teams haven't played each other since 1991. While the Cardinals finished with an overall winning record last year, they were a poor 4-4 in ACC action. Both teams have plenty of positions to fill, but we expect Louisville to struggle more without Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson under center. And despite the turnover for Alabama, the Tide are once again expected to lead the country on both sides of the ball this season. Alabama's run game will be on full display here, keep your eyes on Damien Harris (had 1,000 yards and 11 TD's last year) and Najee Harris (370 yards, three TD's.) It also doesn't hurt that two competent athletes will be battling it out for the No. 1 QB spot between Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa for the Tide. We think the "bigger" and "deeper" SEC defending national Champions take full advantage of a Louisville team which is looking for an identity early. Lay the points, play on ALABAMA.
