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 picks and then also that I shall detract from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL discussion to dip our feet.
It will probably be the first and only time this season we do this, as the last week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season game of NCAA football featuring one of the greatest clubs in the country, and a legendary soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while I supported the Titans. We have been placing wins on and back so it looks like its my turn for the wreath, as I will accompany the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a public road favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days ahead of the Monday night affair, I see that the line has spiked a half-point about the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered at a solid -20 round the board at all of the best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I love the Irish but youre leaning onto the Cardinals. Apart from the venue, why is it that you think Louisville will hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yes IMO and a successful win, said a lot about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Let us move ahead to football, will our recordings with this one and where the games rely.
Recall Louisville used to play against competitions? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were fun games and also the Cardinals were an exciting club.
However, just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) owner, Louisville football last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles at Appalachian State and will be out to alter the civilization and win matches. This wont happen immediately as the talent level is down from theVille. Nonethelessthis is a big moment for Louisville, a team which has the chance to begin taking steps in the ideal direction.
I have read in which the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall since the lead running back. The defense that makes me more nervous than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. You have your Irish up please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest, flying in this match. Scott Satterfield is now in the big leagues and hes got a group coming off of a dismal 2-10 record in which they went winless in ACC activity this past year. This rebuild is comparable to seeking to turn it in an F-22 Raptor and carrying a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is facing a team that made it into the CFP this past year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders as well, averaging 33 points per game over.
So, my question is, just how can be a quarterback like traveling who is slow to release, designed to get any traction against a shield that is Irish? Especially when he is working with a completely new offensive scheme and a new trainer?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will be able to keep up and Im desperate for handicapping expertise that is prodigious and your sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to see in your last sentence youre coming around to the bright side of sports betting, or youre simply being the identical wise a** you usually are. I will let the SBR readers who are making this is decided on by college football selections. Im the first to realize Louisville fully pumped and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 last year.
Just like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons However, that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new coach brings a new attitude on making a statement, and this being a federal game, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to trust they will not be taken by the Irish for granted and never have much fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly using the blue and gold is ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS, when dishing out 20 or more digits. This defense you mentioned might improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, when you dont/can not amuse like Clemson or Bama, it is going to take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, because Louisville could be greater than last year but I would submit that they are coached by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their record left by an coach like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the street would be square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the public is correct, and in this instance they definitely are. Until when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week next week, lets see what happens on Monday once the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
