Clemson defeated Louisville 20–19 in a nail-biter. Clemson covered by 2.5; Game went Under by 11.5. The market closed at Louisville -1.5 and the Blue Chip model made it Louisville -8.7 - a gap of 7.2 points toward Louisville, of which 6.4 points were beyond the model's measured factors. That was an information gap - the market pricing something the model does not carry - rather than a measured edge. Blue Chip Analytics had rated Louisville 5.4 points stronger on a neutral field.
