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 that I will deviate to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will most likely be the first and only time this year we do this, as the last week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season game of NCAA soccer featuring one of the top teams in the nation, plus a mythical soccer 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 while I endorsed the Titans. Weve been placing wins on and back so it appears like it is my turn for the golden wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will accompany all the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a public street favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days ahead of the Monday night event, I see that the line has spiked a half-point on the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered in a solid -20 round the board whatsoever of the very best internet sportsbooks.
I enjoy the Irish but you are currently leaning within this season-opening clash to the Cardinals. Other than the venue, why do you think Louisville could hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yes, Swinger, IMO and at least a convincing triumph, said a lot about the Steelers and Titans management. Let us proceed to real football, where the matches rely and will our records with this one.
Recall those Thursday night matches Louisville used to play against competitions? They held their own and engineered several upsets. These were enjoyable games to see and also the Cardinals were a thrilling club.
However, like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles in Appalachian State and are out win games and to change the civilization. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a huge time for Louisville, a group which has the chance to begin taking steps.
I have read where the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall as the lead running back. The defense that makes me more nervous than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. You have up your Irish, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much flying in this match since the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a group this past year, where they went winless in ACC activity coming from a dismal 2-10 record. This rebuild is like carrying a hot air balloon and seeking to turn it into an F-22 Raptor.
While this may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is facing 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 within the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders as well, averaging 33 points per game over.
My issue is, just how can be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to release, designed to get some traction against a shield that is Irish? Especially when hes working with a coach and an offensive scheme that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville will have the ability to keep pace with this Golden Domers and I am desperate to the sage wisdom and handicapping expertise that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to read in your last sentence you are coming on to the sunny side of sports gambling, or you are just being the exact shrewd a** you are. I will let the SBR readers that are making school football selections decide on this. Im the first to realize Louisville fully pumped and wasnt only 2-10, but 1-11 ATS last season.
Like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that team COMPLETELY. A fresh mindset is brought by A new coach on building a statement and this being a match, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to hope the Irish will take them for granted and not have a lot of fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly using all the gold and blue is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also if dishing out 20 or more specimens, a ATS. That defense you mentioned might improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, whenever you dont/cant amuse like Clemson or even Bama, it is going to take some time.
I was becoming a bit facetious because although you have an handicapping restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this event, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville could be greater than last year but Id submit that they could be coached by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable document rendered by an awkward coach such as Petrino.
I understand that laying nearly three touchdowns on the highway is square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but at times the public is correct, and also in this situation they are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week next week, let us see what happens on Monday when the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
