Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and that I shall deviate from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL discussion to dip our feet into uncharted waters and render our college football picks on the Monday night match between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals.
It will most likely be the first and only time this year we do this, as the previous week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season game of NCAA soccer comprising one of the very best clubs in the country, plus a mythical football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a wager about the Steelers while the Titans were backed by me. We have been placing wins forth and back so it appears like its my turn for the wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will follow the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a road favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days before this Monday night event, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point about the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is presently offered in a solid -20 round the board at all of the very best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but youre currently leaning in this battle onto the Cardinals. Other than the venue do you believe Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes a win and IMO, said a lot about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Lets move ahead to real soccer, where the games rely and will our records with this one.
Recall Louisville used to play against competitions that are big-name? They held their engineered and own many upsets. These were fun games to watch and also the Cardinals were an exciting club.
But like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its counterfeit (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles and are out to change the civilization and win matches. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a time for Louisville, a team that has the chance to begin taking steps.
Ive read where the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall as the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the defense which makes me more nervous. You have your Irish up please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much since the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest, flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and he has a team coming off of a dismal record 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 issue is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it into the CFP this past year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense has been clicking on all cylinders as well, averaging 33 points per game over.
My issue is, how can be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to release, supposed to get any traction against a shield? Especially when hes working with a trainer and an offensive scheme that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to be able to keep pace and I am desperate to handicapping experience and the sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am glad to read in your last sentence you are coming around to the bright side of sport gambling, or youre just being the same shrewd a** you usually are. I will let the SBR readers who are making this is decided on by school football picks. I am the first to realize Louisville fully pumped and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 final year.
Just like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that staff COMPLETELY. A new mindset is brought by A coach on building a statement, and with this being a national match, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to hope that the Irish will accept them for granted and never have a lot of fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly using gold and all the blue is only 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS, if dishing out more or 20 specimens. This defense you said may improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, if you dont/can not recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it is going to take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping that was impressive resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this instance, because Louisville could be better but Id submit that they are trained with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable record rendered by an equally inept coach like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the road would be square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but on occasion the people is right, and also in this instance they definitely are. Until next week once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
