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 will detract 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 display NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season game of NCAA football featuring one of the greatest clubs in the country, and a mythical soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while I backed the Titans. Weve been swapping wins back and forth so it looks like its my turn to get the wreath, as I will follow the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a street favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days prior to the Monday night event, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point on the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its now offered at a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever the very best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I love the Irish but you are currently leaning onto the Cardinals. Aside from the place is it that you think Louisville could hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: YesSwinger, and a triumph IMO, it said a lot about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Lets proceed to soccer, where the matches count and will our recordings on this one.
Remember Louisville used to play against competitions? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were fun games and the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
However, for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out win games and to change the civilization and worked miracles in Appalachian State. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a time for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity.
Ive read in which the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall since 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 your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest, flying in this match. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and hes got a team last year, where they went winless in ACC action coming from a dismal album. This rebuild is akin to attempting to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and taking a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it to the CFP this past year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders also, averaging 33 points per game over.
My query is, just how is a quarterback like traveling who is slow to release, designed to get some traction against a shield that is Irish? Especially when hes working with a trainer and an entirely new offensive strategy?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville will be able to keep up and Im desperate for handicapping expertise that is prodigious and your sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im happy to see in your last sentence you are coming around to the sunny side of sport gambling, or youre simply being the same wise a** you usually are. I will allow the SBR readers who are making college football selections decide on that. I am the first to realize Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 and fully pumped last season.
Like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons but that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new attitude is brought by A trainer and his team will be sold by Satterfield on building a statement, this being a match. Louisville does have to hope never and the Irish will take them have much fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly using gold and the blue is only 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS when dishing out 20 or more digits. This defense you mentioned might improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, whenever you dont/cant recruit like Clemson or even Bama, it will take time.
I was being a bit facetious because although you have an handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this event, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville might be greater than last year but I would submit that they could be trained with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable document left by an equally inept trainer such as Petrino.
I know that placing nearly three touchdowns on the road would be square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but sometimes the people is correct, and in this case they surely 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 prepared to rumble in Louisville.
