Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our school football picks on the Monday night game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and also that I will deviate from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL discussion to dip our toes into uncharted waters.
It will probably be the very first and only time this season we do this, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season sport of NCAA soccer featuring one of the top teams in the nation, plus a mythical football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while the Titans were endorsed by me. Weve been placing wins forth and back so it appears like it is my turn for the golden wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will follow the squares putting the thick lumber onto a road favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days before the Monday night affair, I see the line has spiked a half-point about the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its now offered at a solid -20 across the board whatsoever the very best internet sportsbooks.
I like the Irish but youre currently leaning within this clash onto the Cardinals. Other than the place, why do you think Louisville could hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup a win and at least IMO, said a great deal about the Steelers and Titans direction. Lets proceed to real football, where the matches count and will our recordings on this one.
Recall all those Thursday night matches Louisville used to perform against competitions that are big-name? They more than held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games to see and the Cardinals were a thrilling club.
However, like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its phony (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders and will be out to change the culture and win matches. This wont happen immediately as the talent level is down from theVille. However this is a moment for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity.
Ive read in which the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall because the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the defense that makes me more worried. You have up your Irish, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much since the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest, flying into this match. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and he has a team this past year, in which they went winless coming from a dismal record. This rebuild is akin to taking a hot air balloon and seeking to turn it in an F-22 Raptor.
While that may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is facing a group that made it into the CFP this past year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per game.
My question is, how is a quarterback like Pass whos slow to discharge, designed to obtain any traction against a shield? Particularly when hes working with a new trainer and an offensive scheme that is entirely new?
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 for handicapping experience that is prodigious and your sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im happy to read in your last sentence you are coming on to the glowing side of sport betting, or youre just being the exact shrewd a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers that are making this is decided on by school football picks. Im the first to realize Louisville sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 last season.
Like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new coach brings a new mindset on creating a statement and with this being a match, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to trust the Irish will accept them and never have much fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly using all the blue and gold is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS, if dishing out more or 20 digits. That defense you mentioned may improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, if you dont/cant amuse like Bama or even Clemson, it will take some time.
I was a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, because Louisville might be better than last year but Id submit that they could be coached with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable record rendered by an equally awkward coach like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the street is square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but at times the public is correct, and also in this situation they surely are. Until when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, let us see what happens on Monday when the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
