We have to discuss the Clemson Tigers' QB situation and D.J. Uiagalelei. The Clemson signal-caller was dreadful last weekend. A change in the QB position may not only be called for, it may be necessary.
The Clemson offense will go as far as RB Will Shipley can carry it. The multi-faceted Shipley is used as a runner and a receiver out of the backfield, as he totaled just under 1,000 yards on the season. Expect the Tigers to lean heavily on the back of their workhorse.
Malik Cunningham is a one-man show for the Cardinals as he leads the team in passing and rushing. Cunningham is spectacular in the open field with 540 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns.
Tyler Hudson has been the go-to receiver for the Tigers all season. When in doubt, Cunningham looks Hudson's way.

Clemson Tigers vs. Louisville Cardinals Best Pick
The Clemson Tigers' defense will be ready for this one. The defensive front will put pressure on Malik Cunningham all afternoon. While that is traditionally a good thing, it will force Cunningham to scramble as a runner out of the pocket. Cunningham may find more success with his legs than his arm on Saturday. Take the Over on a reasonable prop bet for his rushing total.

Clemson Tigers vs. Louisville Cardinals Final Prediction
This prediction has more to do with the Tigers than it does with the Cardinals. The Clemson offense has not been up to snuff for some time, and many College Football fans saw this coming from a mile away. With a lackluster Clemson passing game, the Cardinals can stack the box to take away the run. Malik Cunningham can work his magic, and although the Tigers may escape with a victory, the Cardinals will keep this one razor-sharp.
Louisville Cardinals +7 (-110)
