Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our college football selections on the Monday night game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and then I shall detract from our regularly scheduled program of NFL debate to dip our toes into uncharted waters.
It will most likely be the first and only time this year we do so, as the last week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season game of NCAA football comprising one of the best clubs in the nation, plus a legendary soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a wager on the Steelers while I backed the Titans. We have been swapping wins back and forth so it appears like its my turn to the wreath, as I will accompany all the squares laying the lumber onto a road favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days prior to this Monday night affair, I see that the line has spiked a half-point about the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its now offered in a solid -20 throughout the board at all of the best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but youre leaning onto the Cardinals. Aside from the place is it that you think Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup Swinger, a successful win and at least IMO, said a great deal about both the Steelers and Titans direction. Lets proceed to soccer, in which the matches count and so will our recordings with this one.
Recall Louisville utilized to play against competitions? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games and the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
But like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles at Appalachian State and will be out to change the civilization and win matches. This will not happen immediately as the talent level is down from theVille. Yet , this is a big time for Louisville, a team which 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 that I enjoy Hassan Hall since the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the protection, well, that makes me more nervous. Why you have up your Irish please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest flying into this match. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and hes got a group coming off of a dismal record this past year, in which they went winless. This rebuild is comparable to trying to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a team that made it into the CFP this past year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders as well, averaging 33 points per match over.
My question is, just how can be a quarterback like traveling who is slow to release, supposed to gain some traction against a swarming Irish defense? Particularly when hes working with a new trainer and an offensive scheme that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to have the ability to keep pace with the Golden Domers and Im desperate for your sage wisdom and handicapping experience!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to see in your last sentence you are coming over to the sunny side of sports gambling, or you are simply being the same wise a** you usually are. I will let the SBR readers who are making that is decided on by college football selections. I am the first to realize Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 and fully pumped last year.
Like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that team COMPLETELY. A new coach brings a fresh mindset and with this being a match, Satterfield will market his team on building a statement. Louisville does need to hope not and the Irish will take them for granted have much fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly with gold and all the blue is ATS as a road favorite, also if dishing out 20 or more digits, a ATS. That defense you mentioned may improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, if you dont/can not recruit like Clemson or Bama, it will take time.
I was a bit facetious because although youve got an impressive handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this scenario, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville could be better than last year but I would submit that they could be trained with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable document left by an equally inept coach such as Petrino.
I understand that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the street would be square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but at times the general public is right, and also in this case 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 ready to rumble in Louisville.
