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 deviate from our regularly scheduled program of NFL debate to dip our toes into uncharted waters and then also leave our college football picks on the Monday night game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals.
It will most likely be the first and only time this year we do so, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the best teams in the nation, and a mythical soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while I endorsed the Titans. Weve been placing wins on and back so it looks like it is my turn to the wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will accompany the squares laying the lumber on a road favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days ahead of this Monday night event, I see that the line has spiked a half-point on the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered in a solid -20 across the board whatsoever the very best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I enjoy the Irish but you are currently leaning to the Cardinals in this season-opening battle. Apart from the venue, why is it that you think Louisville could hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup Swinger, IMO and a successful win, it said a great deal about the Steelers and Titans direction. Let us proceed to real soccer, so will our recordings on this one and where the games rely.
Remember Louisville used to perform against opponents that are big-name? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games and the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
But just like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its phony (in real life) owner, Louisville football last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out to change the culture and win games and worked wonders. This wont happen right away as the talent level is down in theVille. This is a major moment for Louisville, a group which has the opportunity.
Ive read where the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall because the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the defense, well, which makes me more nervous. Please do tell you have your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest, flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is now in the big leagues and hes got a team last year, in which they went winless in ACC activity coming off of a dismal 2-10 record. This rebuild is akin to attempting to turn it and taking a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it into the CFP this past year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders as well, averaging over 33 points per game.
My question is, just how will be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to discharge, designed to obtain any traction against a Irish shield? Especially when hes working with a coach and an offensive strategy that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville will have the ability to keep up with this Golden Domers and I am desperate for handicapping expertise that is prodigious and the sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to read in your last sentence you are coming over to the bright side of sports betting, or you are just being the same wise a** you are. Ill allow the SBR readers that are currently making that is decided on by school football selections. Im the first to understand 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, just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons. A coach brings a fresh mindset and with this being a game, Satterfield will sell his staff on making a statement. Louisville does have to trust never and the Irish will take them for granted have much fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly with gold and all the blue is only 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS if dishing out 20 or more specimens. This defense you mentioned may improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, even whenever you dont/can not recruit like Clemson or Bama, it will take time.
I was a bit facetious because although you have an handicapping resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, because Louisville could be greater compared to last year but Id submit that they could be coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable document rendered by an coach like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that laying nearly three touchdowns on the road would be square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but on occasion the people is right, and also in this case they certainly are. Until once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week next week, lets see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
