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 on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then I shall deviate from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL debate to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this year we do so, as the previous week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season game of NCAA soccer comprising one of the top clubs in the nation, plus a legendary football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while the Titans were backed by me. Weve been swapping wins on and back so it appears like it is my turn to get the wreath, as I will follow each of the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a public road favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days prior to this Monday night affair, I see that the line has spiked a half-point on the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its presently offered at a solid -20 across the board at all of the very best internet sportsbooks.
Youre currently leaning on the Cardinals although I enjoy the Irish. Aside from the venue is it that you think Louisville will hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup , Swinger, at least and a successful triumph IMO, said a lot about the Steelers and Titans management. Let us proceed to football, in which the games rely and so will our records on this one.
Remember those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to play against big-name opponents? They held their own and engineered several upsets. These were enjoyable games and the Cardinals were an exciting club.
However, such as the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders and are out to alter the culture and win games. This will not happen right away as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a big time for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity.
I have read in which the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall as the direct running back. The protection, well, which makes me more nervous than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. Please do tell why you have your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest, flying in this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a group coming from a dismal 2-10 record this past year, in which they went winless. This rebuild is comparable to carrying a hot air balloon and attempting to turn it.
While that may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a team that 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 over the regular year and moving a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per match.
My issue is, how is a quarterback like traveling who is slow to discharge, supposed to gain some traction against a swarming Irish shield? Particularly when he is working with an offensive scheme and a new trainer?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville will be able to keep pace with this Golden Domers and Im desperate for handicapping expertise and your ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to read in your last sentence you are coming over to the glowing side of sport gambling, or you are simply being the exact wise a** you usually are. Ill let the SBR readers that are currently making school football selections decide on that. I am the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 and completely sucked final year.
Like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons but that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new mindset is brought by A new trainer and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on creating a statement with this being a match. Louisville does need to hope the Irish will take them for granted and not have much fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly using gold and all the blue is ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS if dishing out 20 or more specimens. This defense you mentioned may improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, whenever you dont/cant recruit like Clemson or Bama, 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 case, because Louisville might be greater than last year but Id submit that they are coached with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their record rendered by an coach like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the road is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but sometimes the general public is right, and in this case they are. Until when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
