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 render our college football selections on the Monday night match between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and then also that I shall deviate to dip our toes.
It will most likely be the first and only time this year we do so, as the previous week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season sport of NCAA football featuring one of the very best clubs in the nation, and a legendary football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a wager about the Steelers while I backed the Titans. Weve been swapping wins back and on so it looks like its my turn to the gold wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will follow the squares putting the thick lumber onto a road favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days prior to the 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 now offered at a solid -20 round the board at all the very best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I love the Irish but youre leaning to the Cardinals within this battle. Aside from the venue do you believe Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes at least and a triumph IMO, it said a lot about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Lets move to soccer, so will our recordings with this one and where the games rely.
Remember Louisville utilized to perform against competitions that are big-name? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games and the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
However, such as the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) owner, Louisville football last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles in Appalachian State and are out win matches and to change the civilization. This will not happen right away as the talent level is down from theVille. Nonetheless, this is a huge moment for Louisville, a group which has the opportunity.
I have read in which the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall since the direct running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the protection, well, that makes me more nervous. Please do tell why you have your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest, flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is now in the big leagues and hes got a team last year, in which they went winless in ACC activity coming from a dismal 2-10 album. This rebuild is akin to carrying a hot air balloon and trying to turn it in an F-22 Raptor.
While that may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is facing a group that made it to the CFP last year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, equaling only 17.2 points over the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders as well, averaging 33 points per match over.
My question is, how will be a quarterback like traveling who is slow to release, supposed to obtain some traction against a swarming shield? Especially when hes working with a completely new offensive strategy and a new trainer?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to be able to keep up and I am desperate for prodigious handicapping expertise and the brand new wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to read in your last sentence you are coming around to the sunny side of sports gambling, or youre just being the exact shrewd a** you are. I will let the SBR readers who are currently making that is decided on by school football picks. I am the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 and fully pumped last year.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons but coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that staff COMPLETELY. A new trainer brings a fresh mindset on creating a statement and this being a match, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to hope not and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with gold and all the blue is ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS, when dishing out more or 20 specimens. This defense you said may increase as the season advances but substituting five starters, even whenever you dont/cant amuse like Clemson or Bama, it is going to 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 event, because Louisville could be greater than last year but Id submit that they could be trained with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their record left by an coach like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly three touchdowns on the road would be square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but on occasion the public is correct, and in this instance they are. Until next week when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday once the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
