Our Governor's Cup prediction is from The Duel's official Louisville vs Kentucky preview.

These in-state rivals have met head-to-head in every season since 1994. The Cardinals and Wildcats are set to compete for the Governor's Cup again on Saturday, but only one team enters with an edge. Kentucky has taken down Louisville by at least 31 points in each of the last three matchups.

In 2021, Levis torched the Cardinals by logging 113 rushing yards to go along with 4 touchdowns by the time the final whistle blew. He should be able to find similar success this time around as Louisville has given up an average of 163.8 rushing yards on 4.5 yards per carry across five 2022 away games.
