Point/Counterpoint: Notre Dame vs Louisville – Free NCAAF Betting Picks

Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our school football picks and then that I will detract to dip our toes.
It will most likely be the first and only time this year we do so, as the last week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season game of NCAA soccer featuring one of the very best clubs in the country, plus a mythical soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while I supported the Titans. Weve been placing wins on and back so it looks like its my turn for the wreath, as I will accompany each of the squares laying the lumber on a street favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days prior to the Monday night affair, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point about the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered in a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever the best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but youre leaning within this season-opening clash to the Cardinals. Besides the place is it that you believe Louisville will hang with the boys in South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup Swinger, at least and a win IMO, said a lot about the Steelers and Titans management. Lets move ahead to football, so will our records with this one and in which the matches rely.
Recall Louisville utilized to play against opponents that are big-name? They held their engineered and own several upsets. These were fun games to see and also the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
However, just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders at Appalachian State and are out win matches and to alter the culture. This will not happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a time for Louisville, a group which has the chance.
I have read where the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall since the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the shield that makes me more worried. Why you have up your Irish, please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much flying into this match since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a group this past year, where they went winless in ACC activity coming from a dismal album. This rebuild is comparable to attempting to turn it in an F-22 Raptor and taking a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a group that made it to the CFP last year and owned 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 from the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders also, averaging 33 points per game over.
So, my question is, just how will be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to discharge, supposed to gain some traction against a swarming Irish shield? Particularly when he is working with an offensive scheme that is entirely new and a new coach?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to have the ability to keep up and Im desperate for prodigious handicapping expertise and the ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to read in your last sentence youre coming on to the glowing side of sports gambling, or you are just being the identical shrewd a** you are. Ill let the SBR readers that are currently making this is decided on by college football selections. I am the first to realize Louisville completely sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 last season.
However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons. A coach brings a new attitude on creating a statement and with this being a game, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to trust they will not be taken by the Irish for granted and not have much fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly with gold and the blue is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS, if dishing out 20 or more digits. That defense you said may improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, even when you dont/cant recruit like Clemson or even Bama, it will take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping that was impressive resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this case, because Louisville might be greater than last year but I would submit that they could be trained with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their document rendered by an trainer like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the street is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the people is right, and in this situation they definitely are. Until once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday when the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
