Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our school football selections on the Monday night game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and that I shall deviate to dip our feet.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this season we do this, as the last week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season game of NCAA soccer comprising one of the greatest clubs in the country, and a legendary soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a wager on the Steelers while I backed the Titans. Weve been swapping wins forth and back so it appears like it is my turn to the gold wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will accompany the squares laying the lumber on a street favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days prior to the Monday night affair, I see the line has spiked a half-point on the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered in a solid -20 round the board at all of the best online sportsbooks.
Youre currently leaning on the Cardinals in this season-opening battle although I enjoy the Irish. Other than the place, why do you think Louisville will hang with the boys in South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup IMO and at least a convincing win, it said a great deal about both the Steelers and Titans direction. Let us move to real football, where the games count and will our records on this one.
Recall Louisville used to play against competitions? They more than held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games to see and the Cardinals were an exciting club.
However, like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders and are out to alter the civilization and win matches. This wont happen right away as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity.
Ive read where the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall since the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins the shield, well, which makes me more nervous. Please do tell why youve got your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much 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 from a dismal 2-10 album in which they went winless last year. This rebuild is comparable to taking a hot air balloon and seeking to turn it in an F-22 Raptor.
While this may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a group that made it to the CFP last year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 till they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per game.
My query is, just how will be a quarterback like traveling who is slow to discharge, designed to obtain any traction against a swarming Irish defense? Particularly when he is working with a new coach and an offensive scheme?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep up and I am desperate for the brand new wisdom and prodigious handicapping expertise!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am glad to read in your last sentence youre coming over to the sunny side of sport gambling, or you are just being the same wise a** you are. Ill let the SBR readers that are making this is decided on by college football picks. Im the first to realize Louisville wasnt only 2-10, however 1-11 ATS and completely sucked final season.
However, that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons. A coach brings a new mindset on creating a statement, and with this being a match, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to trust they will not be taken by the Irish and not have much fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly with all the gold and blue is only 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS if dishing out 20 or more digits. This defense you mentioned may improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, whenever you dont/cant recruit like Clemson or Bama, it will take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping that was impressive restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this scenario, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville might be greater but Id submit that they could be coached with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable album rendered by an coach such as Petrino.
I understand that laying nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but on occasion the people is correct, and also in this case they definitely are. Until once 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.
