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 leave our school football picks on the Monday night game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then I shall detract to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will probably be the first and only time this season we do so, as the previous week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season sport of NCAA football comprising one of the greatest clubs in the country, plus a mythical soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while I backed the Titans. Weve been swapping wins forth and back so it appears like it is my turn to get the golden wreath, as I will accompany the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a public street favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days prior to the Monday night event, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point about the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is presently offered at a solid -20 round the board at all the very best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I love the Irish but youre leaning on the Cardinals. Other than the place is it that you think Louisville could hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup a win and IMO, said a great deal about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Let us move ahead to real soccer, will our records on this one and where the games count.
Remember all those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to play against big-name opponents? They held their engineered and own many upsets. These were fun games to watch and also the Cardinals were a thrilling club.
However, like 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 and will be out win games and to alter the civilization. This will not happen right away as the ability level is down in theVille. Yet , this is a big time for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity.
I have read in which the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall since the lead running back. The shield which makes me more nervous than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. Why you have up your Irish, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest flying into this game. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and hes got a group coming off of a dismal 2-10 record this past year in which they went winless. This rebuild is akin to taking a hot air balloon and attempting to turn it into an F-22 Raptor.
While this may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a team that made it to the CFP this past year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders also, averaging over 33 points per game.
My query is, how will be a quarterback like traveling who is slow to discharge, supposed to gain some traction against a swarming defense that is Irish? Particularly when hes working with a new coach and an offensive scheme that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to have the ability to keep pace and I am desperate to prodigious handicapping experience and the ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am glad to see in your last sentence youre coming around to the glowing side of sport betting, or you are just being the same shrewd a** you are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are currently making this is decided on by college football picks. Im the first to understand Louisville sucked and was not only 2-10, however 1-11 ATS final season.
Just like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that staff COMPLETELY. A new mindset is brought by A new trainer and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on building a statement this being a federal game. Louisville does need to hope they will not be taken by the Irish and never have a lot of fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly with gold and the blue is ATS as a road favorite, also if dishing out 20 or more specimens, a mere 7-9-1 ATS. That defense you said might improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, if you dont/can not recruit like Clemson or Bama, it will take time.
I was a bit facetious because although you have an handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville might be better but Id submit that they could be trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their record rendered by an trainer like Petrino.
I know that placing nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but at times the general public is correct, and in this instance they definitely are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
