Louisville has actually been a better team to bet on the road this season than at home. Before their game at DePaul, the Cardinals were 6-2 ATS in road games this season. Louisville has been averaging just over 71 points per game this season and giving up about 62 points per game so they don’t win by big margins that often. That is one reason why Louisville has been a better team against the number on the road.
Cincinnati Needs a Marquee Win
The Bearcats may end up making the NCAA Tournament but they could sure use a marquee win to help their cause. Cincinnati is one of those teams that has beaten up on the weaker teams and struggled with good teams. A home win against Louisville would really help. The problem for bettors is that it is tough to take Cincinnati at home as they have been awful against the college basketball betting pointspread in home games. What has been happening though is that the Bearcats are going under the total at home.
Cincinnati is scoring just about 70 points per game this season and allowing just about 61 per game. Those are almost identical numbers to Louisville but the Bearcats don’t get as much respect from the oddsmakers. That makes sense though considering how much Cincinnati has struggled laying points at home.
