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 Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and that I will detract from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL debate to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will most likely be the first and only time this year we do so, as the previous week of exhibit NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season sport of NCAA football featuring one of the greatest teams in the nation, and a legendary football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while the Titans were supported by me. We have been swapping wins forth and back so it appears like it is my turn for the gold wreath, as I will accompany the squares putting the thick lumber onto a public street favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days ahead of this Monday night affair, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point on the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its now offered at a solid -20 across the board whatsoever of the best internet sportsbooks.
I love the Irish but youre currently leaning in this season-opening battle on the Cardinals. Aside from the venue, why is it that you believe Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup , Swinger, a convincing win and at least IMO, said a great deal about the management of both the Steelers and Titans. Lets move ahead to football, where the games rely and will our records with this one.
Recall those Thursday night games Louisville used to perform against opponents? They held their own and engineered many upsets. These were enjoyable games to watch and also the Cardinals were an exciting club.
However, like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville football last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out to change the culture and win matches and worked miracles. This wont happen right away as the talent level is down from theVille. This is a big time for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity.
Ive read where the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall since the direct running back. The protection, well, which makes me more worried than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. Why you have up your Irish, please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest, flying in this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a team coming from a dismal 2-10 record last year, where they went winless. This rebuild is akin to carrying a hot air balloon and attempting to turn it in an F-22 Raptor.
While that may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it to the CFP last year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the regular season and going 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.
So, my issue is, just how will be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to release, designed to gain any traction against a defense that is Irish? Particularly when he is working with a new trainer and an offensive strategy?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville will be able to keep up and I am desperate for prodigious handicapping expertise and the ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to see in your last sentence youre coming on to the bright side of sports gambling, or youre simply being the exact same shrewd a** you are. I will allow the SBR readers who are currently making this is decided on by college football picks. Im the first to realize Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 and completely sucked last season.
Just like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons, but that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new attitude is brought by A new coach and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on building a statement, with this being a federal match. Louisville does need to hope the Irish will take them and never have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly using all the blue and gold is ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS, if dishing out more or 20 digits. This defense you said may improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, even whenever you dont/cant recruit like Clemson or even Bama, it will take time.
I was being a bit facetious because although you have an handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this instance, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville might be greater than last year but Id submit that they are trained with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable document rendered by an awkward trainer such as Petrino.
I know 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 on occasion the public is correct, and also in this instance they surely are. Until when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, let us see what happens on Monday when the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
