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 picks and then that I will deviate from our regularly scheduled program of NFL discussion to dip our toes.
It will probably be the very first and only time this year we do so, as the previous week of exhibit NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season sport of NCAA football comprising one of the greatest teams in the nation, 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 better of me last week while the Titans were supported by me. We have been swapping wins back and forth so it appears like its my turn to get the wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will follow the squares putting the thick lumber on a road favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days before this Monday night event, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point about the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered at a solid -20 round the board whatsoever the very best internet sportsbooks.
I like the Irish but you are leaning within this season-opening clash onto the Cardinals. Besides the place, why do you believe Louisville could hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup , Swinger, a successful win and at least IMO, it said a great deal about the Steelers and Titans management. Let us move ahead to real football, where the matches count and so will our recordings with this one.
Recall all those Thursday night games Louisville utilized to play against big-name competitions? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games and also the Cardinals were an exciting club.
But just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles in Appalachian State and will be out to change the culture and win games. This wont happen right away as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a major time for Louisville, a team which has the chance to begin taking actions.
I have read where the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall because the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the protection, well, that makes me more nervous. Please do tell why you have your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much flying in this game since the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a group last year, where they went winless in ACC action coming off of a dismal 2-10 record. This rebuild is akin to trying to turn it and taking a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is facing a group that made it to the CFP last year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per match.
My question is, just how will be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to discharge, supposed to obtain any traction against a defense? Especially when he is working with a coach and an offensive scheme that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep pace and Im desperate for the brand new wisdom and prodigious handicapping experience!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to see in your last sentence you are coming over to the glowing side of sports gambling, or you are just being the exact same shrewd a** you are. I will let the SBR readers who are making this is decided on by school football selections. I am the first to realize Louisville completely sucked and wasnt just 2-10, however, 1-11 ATS last season.
However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons. A fresh mindset is brought by A new trainer and his team will be sold by Satterfield on making a statement, with this being a national game. Louisville does have to trust never and the Irish will take them for granted have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly using the blue and gold is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS when dishing out more or 20 specimens. That defense you mentioned might improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, if you dont/cant recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it is going to take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because although you have an handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, because Louisville could be better than last year but I would submit that they are trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable document left by an inept trainer like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the street would be square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but on occasion the general public is right, and also in this instance they certainly are. Until when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week next week, let us see what happens on Monday once the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
