No. 9 Louisville vs Miami Odds

• Opening point spread: Louisville -1.5
• Opening moneyline: Louisville -115/Miami -106
• Opening total: Over/Under 47 points scored
• Time: Noon ET Saturday (ABC)

UPDATE 11 A.M. ET SATURDAY: The total flipped once again at BetMGM, now sitting at Miami -1 (-105). Beyond that, not much has changed in the past day at BetMGM (see below update). Louisville is taking 66% of spread bets, while spread money narrowly favors Miami, at 52%.

The total is still at 46.5, but action has shifted, at 60% of bets/63% of money on the Over.

UPDATE 11 A.M. ET FRIDAY: BetMGM opened the Cardinals as 1.5-point favorites, moved to -1 Monday and jumped the fence to Hurricanes -1 (-105) Wednesday. On Thursday, the line flipped to Louisville -1 (-105), where it remains now.

The Cardinals are getting 67% of spread tickets, while 58% of spread money is on the 'Canes.

BetMGM opened the total at 47.5, went to 46.5 Tuesday and hasn't moved since. The Under is seeing 62% of tickets/82% of money.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET MONDAY: Louisville (9-1 SU/5-4-1 ATS) held a 14-0 halftime lead over Virginia, then gave it all back and then some in the third quarter. The Cards trailed 21-14 entering the fourth quarter, but rallied for a 31-24 victory.

Still, Louisville fell far short of covering as 20.5-point chalk.

Meanwhile, Miami's 4-0 SU start – which would've been 5-0 if not for a historically dumb coaching decision vs. Georgia Tech – is now a distant memory. The Hurricanes are 2-4 SU and ATS in their last six games to stand 6-4 SU/5-5 ATS on the season.

In Week 11, Miami hung around at unbeaten Florida State, but didn't have enough in a 27-20 loss getting 14.5 points.

TwinSpires Sportsbook opened Louisville -1.5 vs. Miami, and the number is up to -2 in the college football Week 12 odds market. The Cardinals are getting 60% of early spread bets/69% of early spread money.

"It's a mix of sharp and public play on Louisville. We're going to need Miami, with all of the Louisville handle we see each week," TwinSpires director of retail sports Zachary Lucas said.

Indeed, TwinSpires has a big footprint in Kentucky and draws plenty of Cardinals and Kentucky Wildcats action.

The total bumped from 47 to 47.5 in the early going, with 57% of tickets/58% of money on the Over.
