Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our school football picks on the Monday night match between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and I will detract from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL debate to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will most likely be the first and only time this season we do this, as the previous week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season sport of NCAA football featuring one of the top teams in the country, plus a mythical football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a bet about the Steelers while I endorsed the Titans. Weve been swapping wins forth and back so it appears like its my turn for the gold wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will follow the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a public road favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days before the Monday night event, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point about the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its presently offered at a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever the very best online sportsbooks.
You are currently leaning to the Cardinals although I love the Irish. Aside from the venue, why is it that you think Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: YesSwinger, at least and a triumph IMO, it said a great deal about the management of both the Steelers and Titans. Lets proceed to football, where the games rely and will our recordings on this one.
Remember all those Thursday night matches Louisville used to play against opponents? They held their engineered and own several upsets. These were fun games and the Cardinals were an exciting club.
But such as the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer 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 in Appalachian State. This wont happen immediately as the ability level is down in theVille. Yet this is a moment for Louisville, a team that has the chance.
Ive read where the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall because the direct running back. The defense that makes me more nervous than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. Please do tell youve got up your Irish.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much 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 team coming off of a dismal 2-10 listing last year, where they went winless in ACC activity. This rebuild is akin to carrying a hot air balloon and trying to turn it in an F-22 Raptor.
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 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 until they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders also, averaging over 33 points per match.
My issue is, just how can be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to release, supposed to gain any traction against a swarming Irish shield? Especially when he is working with an entirely new offensive scheme and a trainer?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep pace with this Golden Domers and Im desperate for prodigious handicapping expertise and the ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to read in your last sentence youre coming around to the glowing side of sports betting, or youre simply being the identical wise a** you are. I will let the SBR readers that are making that is decided on by school football picks. Im the first to realize Louisville sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 last season.
Like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons but coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that staff COMPLETELY. A coach brings a fresh attitude and his team will be sold by Satterfield on building a statement, this being a game. Louisville does need to hope the Irish will take them for granted and not have a lot of fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly with gold and all the blue is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS, if dishing out 20 or more digits. That defense you said may improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, if you dont/cant recruit like Bama or Clemson, it will take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping that was impressive restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this instance, because Louisville might be better than last year but I would submit that they are coached by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their record left by an equally awkward coach such as Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the street is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the public is correct, and also in this situation they certainly are. Until next week once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
