Conference championship week is here after college football regular season finale last Saturday. One of the biggest games to watch is the ACC Championship, where one team is playing for a spot in the College Football Playoff as the other tries to play spoiler.

The undefeated Florida State Seminoles (12-0) will take on the Louisville Cardinals (10-2) hoping to move to 13-0 and secure a CFP berth. Louisville was nearly in position to be a dark horse playoff contender, but a loss to Kentucky in Week 13 likely means even a conference title still won't be quite enough.

Here's what to know about the ACC Championship Game as the Cardinals try to spoil the Seminoles' season.

Florida State vs. Louisville ACC Championship predictions

Winners and Whiners: Florida State will win and cover

Adam Rauzino writes, "The Cardinals' defense has not been as sharp recently, squandering 31 and 38 points respectively in their last two games. Also, Louisville only passes in 45% of their plays. It will be difficult to generate their usual yards on the ground against a Seminoles defense conceding only 140 rushing yards per game. It will also be a challenge in the air against the Seminoles' stifling pass defense that ranks 10th."

Sporting News: Give the Seminoles the points

Kris Johnson writes, "Ball security will be essential for Louisville on Saturday. For FSU, it needs to improve its offensive production under Rodemaker. An extra week of preparation should help on that front. In the final analysis, though, FSU's defense and the running attack under Benson should key a victory and cover ATS here."

FanSided: Florida State takes home the ACC Championship while covering

Reed Wallach writes, "Florida State has the more dynamic playmakers, and I trust Mike Norvell to put Rodemaker in a position to succeed, especially after a full game of reps. It's worth noting that Louisville is outside of the top 100 in explosive play rate, and all it takes is a few chunk plays to decide a game with a total trending down. With the spread inside of a field goal, I need to step in and play the Noles to cover and finish its undefeated regular season with an ACC title."

VSiN: Louisville will crush Florida State's playoff hopes

Tyler Shoemaker writes, "The current moneyline for Louisville at DraftKings is +114, which is better value than taking the 2.5 points at standard odds. Personally, I would lean to the latter and play the Louisville moneyline, as I think there’s a good chance they rebound off a loss and end Florida State’s College Football Playoff dreams."

ESPN: Seminoles are heavy favorites to win

ESPN Analytics give Florida State a 74.4% chance to capture its first ACC Championship and CFP berth since 2014. Louisville is left with a 25.6% chance to pull off the upset.
