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 college football picks on the Monday night game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and then I will detract from our regularly scheduled program of NFL debate to dip our toes into uncharted waters.
It will most likely be the first and only time this year we do this, as the previous week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season game of NCAA football featuring one of the very best teams in the nation, plus a mythical 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 backed the Titans. Weve been swapping wins forth and back so it appears like its my turn to get the wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will follow each of the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a public road favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days ahead of the Monday night affair, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point on the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered at a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever the very best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I love the Irish but you are leaning on the Cardinals. Apart from the venue is it that you think Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup Swinger, IMO and at least a successful triumph, it said a lot about the management of both the Steelers and Titans. Lets move to real soccer, where the matches count and so will our records with this one.
Recall Louisville used to perform against big-name competitions? They more than held their own and engineered many upsets. These were fun games and also the Cardinals were an exciting club.
But just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out to alter the culture and win matches and worked miracles. This will not happen right away as the talent level is down from theVille. This is a major moment for Louisville, a group which has the opportunity to start taking actions in the right direction.
Ive read where the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall as the direct running back. The protection which makes me more nervous than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. Please do tell youve got up your Irish.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a group coming off of a dismal record last year where they went winless in ACC action. This rebuild is akin to taking a hot air balloon and trying to turn it in an F-22 Raptor.
While this may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a team which made it into the CFP this past year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per match.
My issue is, how will be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to discharge, supposed to gain some traction against a swarming Irish defense? Particularly when he is working with an offensive scheme that is entirely new and a coach?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville will be able to keep up and I am desperate for the brand new wisdom and handicapping experience that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to read in your last sentence youre coming on to the bright side of sports betting, or you are just being the identical wise a** you are. I will allow the SBR readers that are making this is decided on by college football selections. Im the first to understand Louisville was, but 1-11 ATS and sucked final season.
Like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons, but that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new attitude is brought by A trainer and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on creating a statement, this being a federal match. Louisville does need to hope not and the Irish will take them for granted have a lot of fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly with gold and the blue is only 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS when dishing out 20 or more digits. That defense you mentioned might improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, when you dont/can not recruit 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 resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville might be greater than last year but Id submit that they could be trained by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable document left by an equally awkward coach like Petrino.
I understand that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the street would be square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but sometimes the people is correct, and in this instance they are. Until when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week next week, let us see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
