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 that I shall detract to dip our toes and leave our college football selections on the Monday night game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this season we do so, as the last week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season sport of NCAA football comprising one of the greatest clubs in the nation, and a mythical football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while I backed the Titans. We have been placing wins back and forth so it appears like its my turn to get the wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will accompany each of the squares laying the heavy lumber on a public street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days prior to this Monday night affair, I see the line has spiked a half-point on the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its presently offered at a solid -20 across the board at all of the very best online sportsbooks.
I like the Irish but you are leaning onto the Cardinals. Aside from the venue do you believe Louisville can hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: YesSwinger, a convincing win and IMO, it said a great deal about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Lets proceed to real soccer, so will our records with this one and in which the games rely.
Remember Louisville utilized to play against opponents that are big-name? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were fun games and the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
But such as the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles in Appalachian State and will be out win matches and to alter the civilization. This wont happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a big moment for Louisville, a group that has the chance.
Ive read in which 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 direct running back. The protection, well, that makes me more worried than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. Please do tell why youve got your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest flying in this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a group coming from a dismal record this past year, where they went winless. This rebuild is akin to attempting 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 team that made it into the CFP last year and possessed 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 until they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders also, averaging over 33 points per game.
My issue is, just how is a quarterback like traveling who is slow to discharge, designed to get some traction against a swarming Irish shield? Particularly when hes working with a trainer and an offensive strategy that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to be able to keep up with this Golden Domers and I am desperate for the ancestral wisdom and handicapping experience!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to see in your last sentence you are coming around to the glowing side of sports gambling, or you are simply being the exact wise a** you are. Ill let the SBR readers that are currently making that is decided on by school football picks. Im the first to realize Louisville completely sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 final year.
But that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons. A fresh mindset is brought by A coach and his team will be sold by Satterfield on creating a statement, this being a federal match. Louisville does have to hope the Irish will take them and never have a lot of fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly using gold and the blue is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS when dishing out more or 20 specimens. That defense you said may improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, even when you dont/cant amuse like Bama or even Clemson, it will take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being 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 circumstance, because Louisville might be greater compared to last year but Id submit that they could be trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their record left by an trainer like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the street would be square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but at times the general public is right, and also in this instance they surely are. Until once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week next week, let us see what happens on Monday once the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
