Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at 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 then I will detract from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL debate to dip our toes.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this season we do this, as the last week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season sport of NCAA football featuring one of the top teams in the nation, and a legendary soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a bet about the Steelers while I backed the Titans. Weve been swapping wins back and on so it looks like its my turn to get the wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will accompany the squares laying the heavy lumber on a public street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days prior to the Monday night affair, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point on the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is presently offered in a solid -20 across the board whatsoever of the best online sportsbooks.
I enjoy the Irish but you are leaning to the Cardinals. Besides the venue, why do you believe Louisville can hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: YesSwinger, a convincing win and IMO, it said a great deal about both the Steelers and Titans direction. Lets move to soccer, will our recordings with this one and in which the games count.
Remember all those Thursday night games Louisville used to play against big-name competitions? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were fun games to see and the Cardinals were an exciting club.
However, like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its phony (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out win games and to change the civilization and worked miracles. This will not happen immediately as the talent level is down in theVille. This is a major moment for Louisville, a team that has the chance to begin taking steps.
I have read where the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall since the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the protection which makes me more nervous. Please do tell youve got your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much since the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a group coming off of a dismal 2-10 album where they went winless last year. This rebuild is akin to taking a hot air balloon and trying to turn it in an F-22 Raptor.
While that may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is facing 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 until they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders also, averaging over 33 points per match.
My query is, how can be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to discharge, supposed to gain any traction against a swarming shield that is Irish? Especially when hes working with an offensive strategy that is entirely new and a new trainer?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville will be able to keep up and Im desperate for the sage wisdom and handicapping expertise that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to see in your last sentence youre coming around to the glowing side of sport betting, or youre just being the exact same wise a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are making that is decided on by college football picks. Im the first to realize Louisville was not only 2-10, but 1-11 ATS and completely sucked last year.
Like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons but coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that staff COMPLETELY. A new attitude is brought by A trainer and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on creating a statement, this being a game. Louisville does need to trust not and the Irish will take them have a lot of fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly with gold and all the blue is ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS when dishing out 20 or more specimens. This defense you said might improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, even when you dont/can not amuse like Bama or Clemson, it is going to take time.
I was being a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping that was impressive restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this scenario, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville could be better but I would submit that they are coached with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their album rendered by an coach such as Petrino.
I understand that laying nearly three touchdowns on the road would be square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but at times the public is correct, and also in this situation they surely are. Until when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, let us see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
