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 selections on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and I shall deviate from our regularly scheduled program of NFL debate to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will most likely be the first and only time this season we do so, as the previous week of exhibition NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season sport of NCAA football comprising one of the best clubs in the nation, and a legendary soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while I backed the Titans. Weve been placing wins back and on 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 street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days prior to this Monday night event, I see that the line has spiked a half-point on the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered at a solid -20 round the board whatsoever the best internet sportsbooks.
I like the Irish but youre currently leaning within this clash to the Cardinals. Apart from the place, why do you believe Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes and a convincing win IMO, it said a great deal about the direction of both the Steelers and Titans. Lets move to soccer, so will our recordings with this one and where the games count.
Remember all those Thursday night matches Louisville used to play against competitions that are big-name? They more than held their own and engineered several upsets. These were fun games and the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
However, just like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) owner, 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 wonders. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a time for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity.
I have read where the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good 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 defense that makes me more nervous. You have your Irish up please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest flying in this match. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and he has a team last year, where they went winless coming from a dismal record. This rebuild is akin to seeking to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is facing a team that made it into the CFP this past year and possessed 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 met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders also, averaging over 33 points per game.
My question is, how is a quarterback like traveling whos slow to discharge, supposed to gain some traction against a Irish shield? Especially when he is working with an offensive scheme and a trainer?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to be able to keep up with the Golden Domers and I am desperate for handicapping experience that is prodigious and your sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to see in your last sentence you are coming over to the bright side of sports betting, or you are just being the same wise a** you are. I will allow the SBR readers that are making this is decided on by school football selections. I am the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 and sucked last season.
Just like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that staff COMPLETELY. A trainer brings a fresh mindset and his team will be sold by Satterfield on making a statement this being a federal game. Louisville does have to hope not and the Irish will take them for granted have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly using all the blue and gold is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS when dishing out more or 20 specimens. This defense you said may improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, even when you dont/cant recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it will take some time.
I was a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, because Louisville might be better than last year but I would submit that they are coached by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their record rendered by an coach like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that laying nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but on occasion the public is right, and in this instance they definitely are. Until when we get down 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.
