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 I will deviate to dip our toes into uncharted waters and also render 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 very first and only time this year we do this, as the last week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season game of NCAA soccer featuring one of the very best clubs in the nation, and a mythical football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while I supported the Titans. Weve been swapping wins back and on so it looks like its my turn to the wreath, as I will follow all the squares putting the thick lumber onto a public street favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days ahead of the Monday night affair, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point about the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered at a solid -20 across the board at all of the best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I love the Irish but you are leaning onto the Cardinals within this clash. Other than the venue is it that you believe Louisville could hang with the boys in South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yes at least and a successful win IMO, it said a lot about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Let us proceed to football, will our records on this one and in which the matches rely.
Remember those Thursday night matches Louisville used to play against opponents? They held their own and engineered several upsets. These were fun games and also the Cardinals were an exciting club.
But such as the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its phony (in real life) owner, Louisville football last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders and will be out win matches and to change the culture. This will not happen right away as the talent level is down in theVille. Yet this is a major time for Louisville, a group which has the opportunity.
Ive read in which the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall since the lead running back. The shield, well, which makes me more nervous than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. Please do tell you have your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much flying into this match as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a group last year, in which they went winless in ACC activity coming from a dismal 2-10 record. This rebuild is comparable to seeking to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and taking a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it into the CFP this past year and possessed 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 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, designed to obtain some traction against a Irish defense? Particularly when he is working with a completely new offensive strategy and a coach?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will be able to keep pace with the Golden Domers and Im desperate for the sage wisdom and handicapping experience that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to read in your last sentence you are coming on to the sunny side of sport gambling, or youre simply being the exact same wise a** you are. I will let the SBR readers who are making that is decided on by college football selections. Im the first to understand Louisville was, however, 1-11 ATS and fully pumped final season.
But that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, just like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons. A new coach brings a new attitude on creating a statement, and this being a match, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to trust not and the Irish will take them for granted have much fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly with all the gold and blue is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS, if dishing out more or 20 specimens. This defense you said may improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, if you dont/can not recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it will take time.
I was becoming a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping that was impressive restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this case, because Louisville could be better but I would submit that they are coached by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable document rendered by an coach like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly three touchdowns on the street is 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 instance they surely are. Until next week when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday once the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
