The Syracuse Orange will host ACC rivals Louisville on Wednesday night, and the hosts will be a slight underdog. Syracuse is looking to bounce back from a home loss to Duke, while the Cardinals are coming off a disturbing 74-65 home loss to N.C. State. This team appears to be in disarray, and I don't like their chances of bouncing back from such a tough loss on the road tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Home Cookin' - The Orange boast a home record of 12-3 so far this season, and the home team has covered the points in five of the last seven meetings between these two teams.

2. Chris Jones - The senior guard is third on the team in scoring, and the team leader in both steals and assists. He's been suspended indefinitely, and will surely be missed. Jones scored a team high 20 points in the loss to the Wolfpack.

3. X-Factor - The Orange have lost all four of their games versus ranked teams this season, but three of those losses came on the road. They've won 13 of their last 18 home games versus Top 25 teams.

Selection: This is a play on the Syracuse Orange
