Louisville Cardinals vs Miami Hurricanes Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/07/26

The Louisville Cardinals face off against the Miami Hurricanes on Saturday for an ACC matchup. It is the last game of the season for both teams before they will head to Charlotte for the ACC Tournament. Neither team will need to win the conference tournament to make the NCAA Tournament, but wins would go a long way for seeding purposes. Miami has been playing great over the last month and have shot up the seed list. I expect them to stay hot and cover the spread against Louisville here.

Miami is currently -1.5-point favorites, and I am backing them to cover that spread on Saturday. The Hurricanes are 7-1 since February started and their lone loss came to Virginia on the road by three points. Louisville has potential to be a great team, but they have not showed it in their toughest games this year. They are 0-8 in Quad 1A games this season and their best player Mikel Brown Jr. will not suit up. He will be out again with a back injury, and I do not see them having enough to get the job done. Take Miami -1.5.
