Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and that I will detract from our regularly scheduled program of NFL debate to dip our toes and also render our school football picks.
It will most likely be the first and only time this season we do this, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season game of NCAA soccer comprising one of the very best teams in the country, plus a legendary soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while the Titans were supported by me. We have been swapping wins back and on so it looks like it is my turn for the golden wreath, as I will follow all the squares laying the heavy lumber onto a road favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days ahead of the Monday night event, I see the line has spiked a half-point about the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its presently offered in a solid -20 round the board whatsoever the very best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but youre currently leaning onto the Cardinals. Aside from the venue, why is it that you believe Louisville will hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yes IMO and at least a successful triumph, said a great deal about the direction of both the Steelers and Titans. Let us move to real soccer, will our records on this one and where the games rely.
Remember Louisville utilized to perform against opponents? They more than held their engineered and own upsets. These were enjoyable games and also the Cardinals were an club.
However, like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles and are out win games and to change the culture. This wont happen immediately as the ability level is down in theVille. However this is a moment for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity.
I have read where the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall as the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins the protection which makes me more nervous. Please do tell why you have up your Irish.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest flying in this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a team coming from a dismal album last year, where they went winless. This rebuild is akin to trying to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and carrying a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is facing a group which made it to 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 moving a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders also, averaging over 33 points per game.
My question is, how can be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to release, designed to obtain some traction against a swarming defense that is Irish? Particularly when hes working with an entirely new offensive strategy and a trainer?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep up with this Golden Domers and I am desperate to the brand new wisdom and handicapping expertise that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to read in your last sentence youre coming around to the sunny side of sports gambling, or youre simply being the identical wise a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are making college football selections decide on that. Im the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 and fully pumped last year.
Just like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A coach brings a new attitude on creating a statement, and with this being a federal game, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to hope not and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with gold and the blue is only 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS, if dishing out 20 or more digits. This defense you said might improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, whenever you dont/can not amuse like Bama or even Clemson, it will take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping that was impressive resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville could be greater than last year but Id submit that they are coached by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their document rendered by an equally inept coach such as Petrino.
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 at times the public is right, and also in this situation they certainly are. Until next week once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday once the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
