Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our school football selections on the Monday night match between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and I will deviate to dip our toes into uncharted waters.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this season we do so, as the previous week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season game of NCAA soccer featuring one of the best clubs in the country, and a legendary soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while I supported the Titans. Weve been swapping wins back and on so it looks like it is my turn for the gold wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will accompany the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a public road favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days before the Monday night event, I see that the line has spiked a half-point about the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its presently offered at a solid -20 round the board whatsoever the best online sportsbooks.
I like the Irish but you are leaning on the Cardinals. Aside from the venue is it that you believe Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup at least and a triumph IMO, said a lot about the management of both the Steelers and Titans. Lets move ahead to football, will our records with this one and in which the games rely.
Recall Louisville used to perform against opponents? They held their engineered and own many upsets. These were fun games and also the Cardinals were an golf 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 are out to alter the culture and win games and worked miracles. This wont happen right away as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a huge moment for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity to begin taking steps.
Ive read where the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall because the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the defense, well, that makes me more nervous. Please do tell why youve got your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a group coming off of a dismal 2-10 album this past year in which they went winless. This rebuild is akin to attempting to turn it in an F-22 Raptor and taking a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a team that made it into the CFP last year and owned 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 in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders also, averaging 33 points per game over.
My question is, how will be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to discharge, supposed to get some traction against a Irish shield? Especially when he is working with an offensive strategy that is entirely new and a trainer?
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 I am desperate to prodigious handicapping experience and the sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to see in your last sentence you are coming around to the glowing side of sports betting, or you are just being the exact same shrewd a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are making college football picks decide on this. Im the first to realize Louisville completely sucked and wasnt only 2-10, however, 1-11 ATS last season.
Just like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons but coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that staff COMPLETELY. A fresh attitude is brought by A new coach and his team will be sold by Satterfield on building a statement this being a national game. Louisville does have to hope the Irish will take them for granted and not have much fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with gold and all the blue is ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS if dishing out more or 20 digits. This defense you mentioned may improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, even if you dont/can not recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it will take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this case, because Louisville could be better but I would submit that they are coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their record rendered by an awkward coach like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly three touchdowns on the road would be square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but at times the general public is correct, and also in this situation they definitely are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday when the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
