College Football Week 9 Odds, Picks & Prediction: Louisville vs. Wake Forest

Can I interest you in the over of a game that will be played at ludicrous-speed tempo between a pair of offenses that consistently generate explosive plays teeing off on leaky defenses that consistently get gouged for them?

*Shoutout to anyone that recognized this as a Space Balls joke.

The Cardinals' points figure to come off home runs in both the run and passing games. On the other side, Wake Forest will generate its own fair share of explosive plays, but Louisville will have the added impediment of not being able to keep Wake Forest's hyper-efficient offense off schedule.

This is one of only five games on the card this weekend between a top-20 tempo team (Wake Forest) against a top-50 tempo opponent (Louisville). There will be opportunities galore in a game that profiles to be competitive throughout - Wake -4 spread - and both offenses match up well to take advantage through explosive gains if nothing else.

The pick: Louisville-WF OVER 63
