Point/Counterpoint: Notre Dame vs Louisville – Free NCAAF Betting Picks

Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our school football selections on the Monday night game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and also I will detract from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL debate to dip our feet.
It will probably be the very first and only time this season we do this, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season game of NCAA soccer comprising one of the very best clubs in the country, and a legendary football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a wager about the Steelers while the Titans were supported by me. We have been placing wins back and forth so it looks like its my turn for the golden wreath, as I will accompany each of the squares laying the lumber on a road favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college soccer odds nearly six days ahead of the Monday night affair, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point about the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered in a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever of the best internet sportsbooks.
I like the Irish but you are leaning onto the Cardinals. Apart from the place, why do you believe Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup at least and a win IMO, it said a lot about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Lets move to real soccer, so will our recordings with this one and in which the matches count.
Recall those Thursday night games Louisville utilized to perform against big-name opponents? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were enjoyable games and also the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
However, just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its phony (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles in Appalachian State and are out win games and to change the civilization. This will not happen right away as the talent level is down from theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity.
I have read where the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall since the direct running back. The protection, well, which makes me more nervous than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. You have up your Irish, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing flying in this match since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a team this past year, in which they went winless coming from a dismal 2-10 record. This rebuild is akin to seeking to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is facing a group which made it to the CFP this past year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders averaging 33 points per match over.
My question is, how can be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to discharge, supposed to gain some traction against a swarming shield? Particularly when hes working with a trainer and an offensive strategy?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to have the ability to keep pace with this Golden Domers and I am desperate to the sage wisdom and prodigious handicapping experience!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to read in your last sentence youre coming on to the bright side of sport betting, or youre simply being the exact shrewd a** you are. I will let the SBR readers who are currently making that is decided on by college football picks. I am the first to understand Louisville fully pumped and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 final year.
Just like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that team COMPLETELY. A fresh mindset is brought by A new coach and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on building a statement, this being a federal game. Louisville does have to hope not and the Irish will take them for granted have much fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly with all the blue and gold is ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS if dishing out more or 20 specimens. This defense you mentioned might improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, if you dont/can not amuse like Bama or Clemson, it will take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping restart , you miss the mark from time to time. And in this event, because Louisville might be greater but I would submit that they could be coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable document rendered by an equally awkward coach like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the road would be square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the public is right, and in this situation they are. Until once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
