1. Louisville leaves this one victorious

This game is not going to be a walk in the park for either team. However, it is extremely possible that the Cardinals leave the Taxslayer Bowl victorious in what could be Lamar Jackson’s final game of his college career. While I believe this one will be a close call, within at most eight points, I’ve got all of my eggs in the Cardinal basket.

It would be a different story and argument if Nick Fitzgerald were to take the field Saturday afternoon against Louisville. However, he is not and as a result this is a huge struggle for the Bulldogs. They have yet to face a quarterback like Fitzgerald in terms of talent and establishment. The SEC has not recently been known for it’s quarterback play and that will likely come to haunt the Bulldogs.

My bold prediction? Louisville wins this one by a touchdown and the era of Joe Moorehead completely changes Bulldog Football as we know it.
