Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our college football picks on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and that I will deviate to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will probably be the very first and only time this year we do so, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season game of NCAA football comprising one of the very best clubs in the country, and a mythical soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while I endorsed the Titans. Weve been swapping wins forth and back so it looks like it is my turn for the golden wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will accompany the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a street favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days prior to the Monday night affair, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point about the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered at a solid -20 throughout the board at all the very best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but youre currently leaning within this season-opening battle to the Cardinals. Other than the venue, why is it that you believe Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes, Swinger, and a triumph IMO, it said a lot about the Steelers and Titans direction. Lets move ahead to real football, in which the matches rely and so will our recordings on this one.
Remember those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to perform against competitions? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games to watch and the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
But for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles and will be out to change the culture and win matches. This will not 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 trainers have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall as the direct running back. The protection, well, that makes me more worried than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. Why you have your Irish up please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest flying into this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a group coming from a dismal album last year where they went winless. This rebuild is comparable to carrying a hot air balloon and trying to turn it.
While that may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a team which made it into the CFP this past year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders averaging 33 points per game over.
My query is, how is a quarterback like traveling whos slow to discharge, designed to obtain any traction against a Irish defense? Particularly when hes working with an offensive scheme and a coach?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep pace with the Golden Domers and I am desperate to the sage wisdom and handicapping expertise!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im happy to read in your last sentence youre coming over to the glowing side of sports betting, or you are simply being the identical shrewd a** you are. I will let the SBR readers who are making that is decided on by college football selections. I am the first to realize Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 and fully pumped last year.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons, However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new coach brings a fresh mindset and with this being a game, Satterfield will sell his team on making a statement. Louisville does need to hope never and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with all the gold and blue is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS, if dishing out 20 or more specimens. That defense you mentioned may improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, when you dont/can not recruit like Bama or Clemson, it is going to take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was a bit facetious because although you have an handicapping restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this scenario, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville might be greater compared to last year but I would submit that they are coached with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable record left by an trainer like Petrino.
I understand that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the street would be square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but sometimes the people is correct, and in this situation they definitely are. Until when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, let us see what happens on Monday once the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
