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 leave our school football picks on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then also I will detract from our regularly scheduled program of NFL debate to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this season we do this, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season game of NCAA soccer comprising one of the very best clubs in the nation, and a legendary soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while the Titans were backed by me. Weve been placing wins forth and back so it looks like it is my turn to the wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will follow the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a public street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days prior to this Monday night event, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point on the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its presently offered in a solid -20 round the board whatsoever of the best internet sportsbooks.
You are currently leaning on the Cardinals although doug, I enjoy the Irish. Apart from the place, why is it that you think Louisville could hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup IMO and at least a successful win, it said a great deal about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Lets move to soccer, in which the games rely and will our records with this one.
Remember those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to perform against big-name competitions? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were enjoyable games and the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
But such as the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its counterfeit (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out win matches and to alter the civilization and worked miracles. This will not happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. However , this is a huge moment for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity to start taking actions.
Ive read in which the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall because the direct running back. The shield which makes me more nervous than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. Why you have your Irish up please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest, flying into this game. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and he has a team coming off of a dismal record this past year, in which they went winless. This rebuild is comparable to trying to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and carrying a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is facing a group which made it to the CFP last year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders also, averaging over 33 points per match.
My question is, just how is a quarterback like traveling who is slow to discharge, designed to obtain some traction against a swarming defense that is Irish? Particularly when he is working with a new trainer and an offensive scheme?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville will have the ability to keep up with this Golden Domers and I am desperate to your ancestral wisdom and handicapping expertise!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to read in your last sentence youre coming over to the sunny side of sport gambling, or youre simply being the identical shrewd a** you usually are. Ill let the SBR readers who are currently making that is decided on by school football picks. Im the first to understand Louisville was, however, 1-11 ATS and sucked last year.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons, but that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new coach brings a new mindset and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on making a statement with this being a federal match. Louisville does need to hope they will not be taken by the Irish for granted and not have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with all the blue and gold is only 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS, if dishing out 20 or more specimens. That defense you said might improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, when you dont/cant amuse like Clemson or even Bama, it is going to take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville might be greater but I would submit that they could be coached by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable document left by an equally inept coach such as Petrino.
I know that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the street would be square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but at times the general public is correct, and also in this case they surely are. Until once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week next week, lets see what happens on Monday once the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
