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 selections on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and also that I will detract to dip our toes.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this year we do so, as the last week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season sport of NCAA football featuring one of the greatest teams in the country, plus a mythical football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a bet on the Steelers while the Titans were backed by me. Weve been swapping wins forth and back so it looks like its my turn for the golden wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will accompany all the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a public road favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days ahead of this Monday night event, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point about the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered at a solid -20 across the board whatsoever the best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but youre currently leaning within this season-opening clash onto the Cardinals. Besides the venue is it that you believe Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes, Swinger, IMO and a successful win, said a lot about the Steelers and Titans management. Let us move ahead to soccer, in which the games rely and will our records on this one.
Remember all those Thursday night matches Louisville used to perform against big-name opponents? They held their own and engineered several upsets. These were enjoyable games and the Cardinals were an club.
But for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out win matches and to alter the culture and worked wonders. This will not happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. However , this is a time for Louisville, a group that has the opportunity to start taking actions.
Ive read where the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall as the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins the protection that makes me more worried. Why you have up your Irish, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing 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 last year where they went winless. This rebuild is comparable to carrying a hot air balloon and trying to turn it.
While this may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is facing a group which made it into the CFP last year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders also, averaging 33 points per game over.
So, my query is, just how is a quarterback like traveling whos slow to release, supposed to obtain some traction against a shield that is Irish? Especially when hes working with an offensive scheme that is entirely new and a trainer?
Please, Doug, save 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 Im desperate for prodigious handicapping experience and the sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to read in your last sentence you are coming around to the bright side of sport gambling, or youre just being the exact wise a** you are. I will allow the SBR readers that are making this is decided on by college football picks. I am the first to realize Louisville completely sucked and was, but 1-11 ATS final year.
Just like he gave up to the Atlanta Falcons but coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that team COMPLETELY. A new attitude is brought by A new coach and his team will be sold by Satterfield on creating a statement this being a match. Louisville does need to hope they will not be taken by the Irish and not have much fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly with gold and the blue is only 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS if dishing out more or 20 specimens. This defense you mentioned may improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, even if you dont/can not amuse like Clemson or even Bama, it will take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was a bit facetious because although you have an impressive handicapping restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, because Louisville might be better but I would submit that they could be coached by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their document left by an equally awkward coach like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that putting almost three touchdowns on the street is square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but on occasion the people is right, and in this situation they certainly are. Until when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, let us see what happens on Monday once the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
