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 picks and I will detract to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will almost certainly be the very first and only time this season we do this, as the last week of exhibition NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season game of NCAA football featuring 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 best of me last week while the Titans were supported by me. Weve been placing wins back and forth so it appears like its my turn to get the wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will accompany the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a road favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days ahead of this Monday night event, I see the line 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 whatsoever of the best internet sportsbooks.
I like the Irish but youre currently leaning on the Cardinals in this battle. Apart from the venue do you believe Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup IMO and a successful triumph, it said a great deal about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Lets move to soccer, in which the matches count and will our records with this one.
Remember all those Thursday night games Louisville used to play against competitions that are big-name? They held their own and engineered several upsets. These were enjoyable games and also the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
But just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders in Appalachian State and are out win matches and to alter the culture. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. Yet , this is a time for Louisville, a group which has the opportunity to start taking actions in the ideal direction.
I have read where the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall since the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the defense which makes me more worried. Why you have up your Irish please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing flying into this game as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest. Scott Satterfield is now in the big leagues and hes got a team last year, where they went winless coming off of a dismal 2-10 record. This rebuild is comparable to trying to turn it in an F-22 Raptor and taking a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a group that made it into the CFP last year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per game.
So, my question is, just how will be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to discharge, designed to obtain any traction against a shield that is Irish? Particularly 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 is going to have the ability to keep pace with the Golden Domers and I am desperate for your brand new wisdom and handicapping expertise that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im happy to read in your last sentence you are coming on to the sunny side of sports betting, or youre simply being the identical shrewd a** you usually are. I will allow the SBR readers who are currently making school football picks decide on that. Im the first to understand Louisville completely sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 last year.
Just like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons, but that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A coach brings a new attitude and his team will be sold by Satterfield on building a statement with this being a federal game. Louisville does have to trust never and the Irish will take them for granted have much fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly using gold and all the blue is ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS when dishing out more or 20 digits. This defense you mentioned might improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, when you dont/cant recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it will take time.
I was a bit facetious because although you have an handicapping resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this scenario, because Louisville might be greater compared to last year but I would submit that they could be trained with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable document rendered by an trainer like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the road is square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the public is right, and in this case they are. Until once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week next week, let us see what happens on Monday when the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
