Louisville Cardinals vs. Clemson Tigers NCAAF Betting Analysis (11-02-2024)

Jeff Brohm is proving to be a perfect College Football odds fit as head coach of the Louisville Cardinals. Naturally, he is an alum and former quarterback in his playing days. So far, Louisville is on track for its second consecutive bowl berth under Brohm. Last week, the Cardinals scored a thrilling comeback win at Boston College last Friday night. Now, the Clemson Tigers host the Cardinals at Death Valley. Head coach Dabo Swinney may have the last laugh after being ripped for not using the transfer portal.

Last game, the Clemson Tigers won 48-31 against the Virginia Cavaliers as 20.5-point home favorites. The game went over the total of 57.5. Clemson has a record of 6-1 straight up, 4-3 against the spread, and 3-4 over/under the total. Clemson ranks 5th for total offense, 17th for passing, 26th for rushing, and 4th for scoring. Defensively, they rank 54th overall, 67th against the pass, 47th against the rush, and 61st for points allowed. Also, Clemson ranks 2nd for fewest turnovers lost and 29th for takeaways.

Cade Klubnik was not happy with his slow start despite another 300-yard game and three more touchdown passes. Previously, Clemson’s quarterback looked out of sorts. To illuminate, he threw an awful interception that Virginia turned into a touchdown and a 10-3 lead. Hence, it was the first time the 10th-ranked Tigers had trailed at home in four games this season. However, soon enough, Clemson and Klubnik were off and running for a 48-31 victory over the Cavaliers.
“Sometimes, you just don’t have as good of a game as you do others, and that’s OK,” said Klubnik, who finished 23 of 35 passing for 308 yards. “That’s why you get to have peace after the game, knowing we put up 500 and something yards and however many points.”

Tight end Olsen Patt-Henry had two touchdown catches. Also, Phil Mafah ran for two short scores as the Tigers improved to 5-0 in the Atlantic Coast Conference. In turn, Clemson won for the 11th time in 12 games.The only downside for the Tigers is that the victory came at the expense of former Clemson receiver and Dabo Swinney’s longtime offensive assistant Tony Elliott. Correlate that Elliott returned to Death Valley for the first time since taking the Virginia job three seasons ago. Finally, when it ended, Swinney and Elliott shared a long hug before heading to the locker room.
