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 Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and that I shall deviate to dip our toes.
It will almost certainly be the very first and only time this year we do this, as the previous week of exhibition NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season sport of NCAA soccer featuring one of the greatest clubs in the country, and a legendary soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a bet about the Steelers while the Titans were backed by me. Weve been placing wins forth and back so it looks like it is my turn for the golden wreath, as I will follow all the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a street favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days prior to this Monday night event, I see the line has spiked a half-point on the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered in a solid -20 round the board at all the best online sportsbooks.
I like the Irish but you are currently leaning on the Cardinals. Aside from the place, why do you think Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes a successful triumph and IMO, said a great deal about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Lets move ahead to football, so will our records on this one and in which the matches rely.
Recall those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to play against big-name opponents? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were enjoyable games to watch and the Cardinals were an golf club.
However, such as the former Papa Johns Stadium and its phony (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles and are out win matches and to change the culture. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. However , this is a huge moment for Louisville, a group that has the chance to start taking actions.
Ive read where the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall as the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the shield, well, that makes me more nervous. You have your Irish up please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest, flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a group coming off of a dismal album last year, in which they went winless. This rebuild is akin to trying to turn it in an F-22 Raptor and taking a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a team that made it to the CFP last year and possessed one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders also, averaging 33 points per game over.
My issue is, just how can be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to release, supposed to gain any traction against a swarming defense that is Irish? Particularly when hes working with an offensive strategy that is entirely new and a trainer?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep up and Im desperate to the ancestral wisdom and handicapping expertise that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to read in your last sentence you are coming over to the sunny side of sport betting, or you are simply being the exact shrewd a** you are. I will let the SBR readers that are currently making school football selections decide on this. Im the first to realize Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 and fully pumped final year.
Just like he gave up to the Atlanta Falcons, However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A trainer brings a fresh mindset on making a statement and this being a game, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to trust they will not be taken by the Irish for granted and never have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with all the blue and gold is ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS, when decked out 20 or more digits. This defense you said might improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, even if you dont/cant recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it will take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping that was impressive restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this case, because Louisville may be better compared to last year but I would submit that they are trained by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their record left by an equally inept coach like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that laying nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but on occasion the public is right, and in this situation they are. Until next week once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
