Rutgers at Louisville

You need offense if you want to hang with Louisville, and Rutgers has it. They are 93rd in the country in scoring (74.5 points per game), and they are third in the American Athletic Conference at the charity stripe. Guard Myles Mack is a fine playmaker and leads an offense that has four players averaging over nine points per contest. They've won two of their last four games scoring 93 and 79 points in the wins. Louisville is a tough challenge, but this is a tough situational spot for the home team, home from a road trip where one game was postponed a day. The Cardinals are 1-4 ATS in their last five home games. Rutgers beat a ranked opponent a year ago, a 67-62 win over No. 24 Pittsburgh, and has been great this season losing to Louisville in the first meeting by seven points (as a +14.5 dog), and to SMU the last game by 12.
