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 picks and then also I will detract from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL debate to dip our toes into uncharted waters.
It will most likely be the first and only time this season we do so, as the last week of exhibition NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season sport of NCAA football featuring one of the greatest clubs in the country, and a mythical soccer 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 with a wager about the Steelers while the Titans were backed by me. Weve been swapping wins forth and back so it appears like its my turn to get the wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will accompany each of the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a public road favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days prior to the Monday night affair, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point on the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its presently offered in a solid -20 round the board whatsoever of the best internet sportsbooks.
I like the Irish but you are currently leaning in this season-opening clash onto the Cardinals. Besides the place is it that you believe Louisville could hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup IMO and at least a convincing win, said a great deal about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Lets move to soccer, in which the games rely and will our recordings with this one.
Recall those Thursday night games Louisville utilized to play against opponents that are big-name? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were enjoyable games to see and the Cardinals were a thrilling club.
However, just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles in Appalachian State and will be out win matches and to change the civilization. This wont happen right away as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a team which has the chance to start taking actions.
I have read where the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall since the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the defense that makes me more worried. Please do tell why youve got up your Irish.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest, flying into this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a team coming off of a dismal album where they went winless in ACC action this past year. This rebuild is like seeking to turn it in an F-22 Raptor and carrying a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a team which made it to the CFP last year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per match.
So, my issue is, how is a quarterback like Pass who is slow to discharge, supposed to obtain any traction against a swarming defense? Especially when he is working with a completely new offensive strategy and a trainer?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to be able to keep up with this Golden Domers and Im desperate for your ancestral wisdom and handicapping expertise that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to see in your last sentence you are coming around to the sunny side of sport gambling, or you are just being the identical shrewd a** you are. Ill allow the SBR readers that are currently making that is decided on by college football picks. Im the first to understand Louisville was, but 1-11 ATS and fully pumped final year.
Like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons but coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that team COMPLETELY. A fresh mindset is brought by A trainer and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on making a statement, this being a game. Louisville does have to trust not and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have much fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly using gold and the blue is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS when dishing out more or 20 specimens. That defense you said may improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, even if you dont/can not recruit like Bama or Clemson, it will take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because although youve got an impressive handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this event, because Louisville might be better but Id submit that they are trained with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable record rendered by an trainer like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that laying nearly three touchdowns on the road is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but on occasion the people is correct, and in this instance they definitely are. Until next week when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
