Early lines released for 3 Louisville football games

A while back, prominent offshore oddsmaker 5Dimes released its lines for most of the biggest games on college football's opening weekend. Now they've come back and set the early lines for some of the biggest games of the entire 2015 season.

Louisville is featured three times in these lines, and all three times the Cardinals are pegged as underdogs.

September 5

*Auburn (-13) vs. Louisville | O/U 56

September 17

Clemson (-3) at Louisville

October 3

Louisville at NC State (-3)

I suppose it's worth mentioning that almost exactly one year ago, Louisville was pegged as an 8-point underdog at Notre Dame. So, you know, don't chalk up these games as lost causes just yet.
