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

Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at 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 then that I will detract to dip our feet.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this year we do so, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season sport of NCAA football featuring one of the top clubs in the nation, and a legendary soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a bet about the Steelers while I endorsed the Titans. We have been placing wins forth and back so it appears like its my turn for the gold wreath, as I will follow each of the squares putting the thick lumber onto a road favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days prior to the Monday night event, I see that the line has spiked a half-point about the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered in a solid -20 round the board at all of the best online sportsbooks.
Youre currently leaning to the Cardinals within this battle although doug, I love the Irish. Other than the venue, why is it that you think Louisville will hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup , Swinger, IMO and at least a successful triumph, it said a great deal about both the Steelers and Titans management. Lets move to soccer, will our recordings on this one and where the matches count.
Recall all those Thursday night games Louisville utilized to perform against opponents that are big-name? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were enjoyable games and also the Cardinals were an exciting club.
However, for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out win matches and to change the civilization and worked miracles at Appalachian State. This wont happen immediately as the talent level is down in theVille. This is a huge time for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity to begin taking steps in the ideal direction.
Ive read where the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall since the lead running back. The defense, well, which makes me more worried than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. Please do tell why you have your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing flying in this game as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and he has a group coming from a dismal 2-10 album last year, in which they went winless in ACC action. This rebuild is akin to seeking to turn it in an F-22 Raptor and taking a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it to the CFP this past year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders averaging 33 points per match over.
My question is, how will be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to discharge, supposed to obtain any traction against a Irish shield? Particularly when he is working with an offensive scheme that is entirely new and a new trainer?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville will have the ability to keep up with the Golden Domers and I am desperate to your brand new wisdom and handicapping expertise!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to see in your last sentence you are coming around to the bright side of sport betting, or youre just being the same wise a** you usually are. I will let the SBR readers that are making that is decided on by school football selections. Im the first to realize Louisville sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 last season.
Like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons but coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that staff COMPLETELY. A new coach brings a fresh mindset on making a statement, and this being a game, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to hope never and the Irish will take them have much fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly using all the blue and gold is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS, if dishing out 20 or more digits. This defense you said may improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, even whenever you dont/can not recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it will take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping that was impressive restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this case, because Louisville might be better but I would submit that they are coached by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their record rendered by an awkward trainer such as Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the street is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but on occasion the people is correct, and also in this instance they certainly are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week next week, lets see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
