Coverage during the game:
It's homecoming at Louisville as the 18th-ranked Cardinals host No. 21 Duke.
The Cardinals have yet to lose to the Blue Devils in three meetings. The last time the two met, in 2021, former U of L quarterback Malik Cunningham had a career performance.
This season, the game has bigger implications with Louisville looking to make the ACC championship game for the first time in program history. The Cardinals (6-1, 3-1 ACC) are currently tied with North Carolina (6-1, 3-1) at second in the league standings. A win over Duke (5-2, 2-1) would keep U of L's hopes of making the conference title game alive. The Cards enter the game as a 4-point home favorite, per DraftKings.
