Citrus Bowl
Louisville (9-3) vs. LSU (7-4)
Dec. 31, 11:00 a.m.

It’s possible that Lamar Jackson is a Heisman Trophy winner by the time this game is played (editor's note: He will be! Jackson won the Heisman Trophy on Dec. 11). It’s also possible that LSU will be the best defense he’s faced. The Cardinals have a high-powered offense, but the team is scuffling lately as a whole, and LSU is riding the feel-good vibes of the Ed Orgeron hire going into this matchup.

Prediction: LSU 35, Louisville 28

LSU and Louisville kick off at 11 am ET in Orlando, Florida on Saturday, Dec. 31.
