Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our college football selections on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then that I shall detract from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL discussion to dip our feet.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this season we do so, as the previous week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season game of NCAA football featuring one of the best teams in the nation, and a mythical 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 with a bet on the Steelers while I backed the Titans. We have been placing wins forth and back so it appears like its my turn to get the gold wreath, as I will accompany the squares putting the thick lumber onto a road favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days prior to this Monday night event, I see that the line has spiked a half-point about the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered in a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever the best internet sportsbooks.
I enjoy the Irish but you are currently leaning within this season-opening clash on the Cardinals. Aside from the venue, why is it that you think Louisville will hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yes a win and at least IMO, said a great deal about the direction of both the Steelers and Titans. Let us move ahead to football, where the matches rely and will our records on this one.
Recall Louisville utilized to perform against competitions that are big-name? They more than held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games to see and also the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
However, like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out to change the civilization and win matches and worked wonders in Appalachian State. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down in theVille. Nonetheless, this is a moment for Louisville, a team which has the chance.
Ive read where the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall because the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the shield, well, which makes me more nervous. You have your Irish up please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and he has a team coming off of a dismal album this past year in which they went winless. This rebuild is comparable to trying to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and carrying a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually happen, 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 over the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per match.
So, my query is, just how will be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to release, designed to obtain some traction against a swarming Irish defense? Particularly when hes working with an entirely new offensive strategy and a coach?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to be able to keep pace with this Golden Domers and I am desperate to handicapping experience that is prodigious and your ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to see in your last sentence youre coming on to the glowing side of sport betting, or youre simply being the identical shrewd a** you usually are. I will allow the SBR readers that are making this is decided on by college football selections. Im the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 and sucked final year.
However, that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, just like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons. A coach brings a fresh mindset on making a statement, and this being a federal match, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to trust never and the Irish will take them for granted have much fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly using the gold and blue is ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS if dishing out 20 or more digits. This defense you said may improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, even whenever you dont/cant amuse like Bama or Clemson, it will take time.
I was a bit facetious because although youve got an impressive handicapping restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville might be greater compared to last year but I would submit that they could be trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable document left by an equally inept trainer such as Petrino.
I know that placing nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but at times the general public is correct, and in this case they definitely are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday once the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
