Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our school football picks and also that I shall deviate from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL discussion to dip our toes into uncharted waters.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this year we do so, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season game of NCAA soccer featuring one of the top teams in the nation, and a mythical football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a wager about the Steelers while the Titans were backed by me. We have been placing wins back and on so it looks like it is my turn for the golden wreath, as I will follow all the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a public road favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days ahead of the Monday night event, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point on the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered at a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever of the best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I love the Irish but you are leaning within this clash onto the Cardinals. Besides the venue is it that you think Louisville will hang with the boys in South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup IMO and a convincing triumph, said a lot about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Let us move to soccer, in which the games rely and will our recordings on this one.
Recall those Thursday night matches Louisville used to perform against competitions that are big-name? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were enjoyable games and also the Cardinals were an club.
However, just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its phony (in real life) owner, Louisville football last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders in Appalachian State and are out win games and to alter the civilization. This wont happen immediately as the talent level is down from theVille. Nonethelessthis is a huge moment for Louisville, a group that has the opportunity.
Ive 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 as the lead running back. The shield, well, which makes me more worried than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. Why you have your Irish up please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much since the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest, flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and he has a team coming from a dismal album where they went winless this past year. This rebuild is akin to seeking to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is facing 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 met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging 33 points per match over.
So, my issue is, how will be a quarterback like traveling who is slow to release, supposed to get some traction against a swarming defense that is Irish? Particularly when hes working with a trainer and an offensive scheme that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville will have the ability to keep pace and I am desperate for handicapping experience that is prodigious and your brand new wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to see in your last sentence youre coming over to the glowing side of sports gambling, or you are just being the same wise a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers that are making that is decided on by college football picks. I am the first to understand Louisville wasnt only 2-10, however, 1-11 ATS and sucked last season.
But that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons. A new coach brings a new attitude on making a statement, and this being a national match, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to trust not and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly using gold and all the blue is ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS if dishing out more or 20 specimens. This defense you said might improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, even when you dont/cant amuse like Bama or even Clemson, it will take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because though you have an impressive handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this instance, because Louisville might be better than last year but Id submit that they could be coached with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their document left by an equally awkward trainer such as Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the road would be 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 also in this situation they certainly are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday once the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
