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 that I will detract to dip our feet into uncharted waters and then leave our school football selections.
It will probably 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 some regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the best teams in the country, and a mythical football 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 the Titans were supported by me. We have been swapping wins forth and back so it appears like its my turn to get the golden wreath, as I will follow each of the squares putting the thick lumber onto a road favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days ahead of the Monday night affair, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point about the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its presently offered in a solid -20 throughout the board at all of the best internet sportsbooks.
Youre currently leaning to the Cardinals although I enjoy the Irish. Besides the venue, why is it that you think Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup Swinger, a triumph and IMO, it said a great deal about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Let us move to real soccer, in which the games rely and so will our recordings on this one.
Recall all those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to play against competitions that are big-name? They held their own and engineered several upsets. These were fun games to see and also the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
But for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its phony (in real life) owner, Louisville football last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles in Appalachian State and are out win games and to alter the culture. This will not happen right away as the talent level is down in theVille. However this is a big moment for Louisville, a group that has the opportunity.
Ive read in which the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall because the lead running back. The protection which makes me more worried than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. You have your Irish up please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much flying in the game as the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and he has a group coming from a dismal 2-10 record this past year, in which they went winless in ACC activity. This rebuild is comparable to trying to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and taking a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is facing a group 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 over the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders as well, averaging 33 points per match over.
So, my query is, just how is a quarterback like traveling whos slow to release, designed to obtain some traction against a swarming defense? Especially when hes working with a new coach and a completely new offensive scheme?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to be able to keep up and Im desperate for handicapping experience that is prodigious and the ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im happy to read in your last sentence youre coming over to the glowing side of sports betting, or you are simply being the exact identical wise a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are making that is decided on by college football selections. I am the first to understand Louisville was, however, 1-11 ATS and fully pumped last season.
Like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons but coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that team COMPLETELY. A new mindset is brought by A new trainer and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on making a statement, with this being a game. Louisville does need to trust never and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly with all the gold and blue is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS when dishing out 20 or more digits. That defense you said might improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, whenever you dont/can not recruit like Bama or Clemson, it will take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this scenario, because Louisville might be better but Id submit that they could be coached with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable document rendered by an equally awkward coach like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly three touchdowns on the road is square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but at times the general public is correct, and in this instance they certainly are. Until next week when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
