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 and also that I shall detract from our regularly scheduled program of NFL discussion to dip our toes into uncharted waters.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this year we do this, as the last week of exhibit NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the greatest clubs in the country, plus a legendary football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a wager on the Steelers while I backed the Titans. Weve been swapping wins back and forth so it appears like its my turn for the golden wreath, as I will accompany the squares putting the thick lumber onto a public street favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days prior to the Monday night event, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point about the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered at a solid -20 round the board at all the best online sportsbooks.
I love the Irish but you are currently leaning on the Cardinals within this battle. Other than the venue, why is it that you think Louisville could hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yes a win and at least IMO, it said a lot about the Steelers and Titans direction. Lets proceed to real football, in which the matches count and so will our recordings with this one.
Remember all those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to play against competitions that are big-name? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were enjoyable games to watch and the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
But like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its phony (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out to change the civilization and win matches and worked miracles. This will not happen right away as the talent level is down in theVille. This is a time for Louisville, a team that has the chance to start taking steps in the ideal direction.
Ive read in which the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall because the direct running back. The defense, well, which makes me more nervous than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. You have up your Irish please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest flying into this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a team coming off of a dismal record this past year where they went winless in ACC activity. This rebuild is akin to attempting to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is facing a group which made it into the CFP last year and possessed one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders also, averaging 33 points per game over.
My question is, how can be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to release, designed to get any traction against a swarming defense? Particularly when hes working with a trainer and an offensive strategy that is entirely new?
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 and I am desperate to handicapping experience that is prodigious and the brand new wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to see in your last sentence youre coming on to the glowing side of sport betting, or you are simply being the identical shrewd a** you are. Ill let the SBR readers that are making college football selections decide on that. Im the first to realize Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 and sucked final year.
Just like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons, but that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new attitude is brought by A new trainer and his team will be sold by Satterfield on creating a statement with this being a national match. Louisville does have to hope the Irish will take them for granted and not have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with all the blue and gold is ATS as a road favorite, also if dishing out 20 or more digits, a mere 7-9-1 ATS. This defense you mentioned might improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, whenever you dont/can not recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it is going to take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because although you have an impressive handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this event, because Louisville might be better but Id submit that they are coached by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their record rendered by an inept trainer such as Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the road would be square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but at times the general public is correct, and in this situation they are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week next week, let us see what happens on Monday when the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
