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 selections on the Monday night game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then that I shall deviate to dip our toes into uncharted waters.
It will almost certainly be the very first and only time this season we do so, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season game of NCAA football featuring one of the top teams in the country, and a mythical soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while I endorsed the Titans. We have been placing wins forth and back so it looks like its my turn to the wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will follow each of the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days prior to this Monday night event, I see the line has spiked a half-point about the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its now offered at a solid -20 throughout the board at all the best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I enjoy the Irish but you are leaning in this season-opening clash to the Cardinals. Besides the place do you think Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes a triumph and IMO, it said a lot about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Let us proceed to real soccer, where the matches count and will our recordings with this one.
Remember those Thursday night games Louisville utilized to perform against big-name opponents? They more than held their own and engineered several upsets. These were fun games to see and also the Cardinals were an exciting club.
However, like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders and will be out to alter the culture and win matches. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a time for Louisville, a group that has the opportunity.
I have read in which the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall as the direct running back. The shield which makes me more worried than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. Why you have your Irish up please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much since the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest, flying into this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a team last year, in which they went winless in ACC activity coming off of a dismal album. This rebuild is comparable to attempting to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and taking a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a group that made it to the CFP last year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging 33 points per game over.
My issue is, just how is a quarterback like traveling whos slow to discharge, supposed to get any traction against a Irish shield? Especially when he is working with a trainer and an offensive strategy?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to be able to keep pace with the Golden Domers and I am desperate for the sage wisdom and handicapping expertise that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to read in your last sentence you are coming on to the sunny side of sport betting, or you are just being the identical wise a** you usually are. Ill let the SBR readers who are making this is decided on by college football picks. I am the first to understand Louisville was, but 1-11 ATS and sucked final season.
Like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons but coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that staff COMPLETELY. A new coach brings a fresh mindset and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on making a statement, this being a federal game. Louisville does have to hope they will not be taken by the Irish for granted and never have much fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly using all the gold and blue is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS, if dishing out 20 or more digits. This defense you said may improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, when you dont/can not amuse like Clemson or even Bama, it will take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because though you have an impressive handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, because Louisville might be better but I would submit that they are trained by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable document rendered by an equally inept coach like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly three touchdowns on the road is square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but on occasion the people is right, and in this instance they certainly are. Until once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, let us see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
