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 game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and then that I will detract to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will probably be the first and only time this year we do so, as the previous week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season game of NCAA football featuring one of the best clubs in the nation, and a legendary football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a wager on the Steelers while I endorsed the Titans. Weve been placing wins forth and back so it appears like its my turn to get the gold wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will accompany the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a public road favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days before this Monday night affair, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point about the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered at a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever the best internet sportsbooks.
I like the Irish but youre currently leaning in this season-opening battle to the Cardinals. Aside from the place is it that you think Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup , Swinger, and a triumph IMO, it said a lot about both the Steelers and Titans direction. Let us proceed to football, where the matches count and so will our recordings with this one.
Remember Louisville utilized to perform against competitions? They held their own and engineered several upsets. These were fun games and also the Cardinals were an exciting club.
However, like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders and are out to change the culture and win matches. This wont happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. Yet this is a major time for Louisville, a group that has the opportunity to begin taking steps in the ideal direction.
I have read where the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall as the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the defense, well, that makes me more nervous. Why you have your Irish up, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and hes got a team coming off of a dismal 2-10 record in which they went winless this past year. This rebuild is comparable to attempting to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and carrying a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is facing a team which made it into the CFP last 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 till they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders averaging 33 points per game over.
My query is, just how will be a quarterback like traveling who is slow to release, designed to obtain some traction against a swarming shield that is Irish? Particularly when he is working with a new trainer and an offensive scheme?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to have the ability to keep pace and Im desperate to your brand new wisdom and handicapping experience that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to read in your last sentence you are coming around to the glowing side of sport betting, or youre simply being the same shrewd a** you usually are. Ill let the SBR readers who are currently making that is decided on by college football selections. Im the first to understand Louisville completely sucked and was not just 2-10, but 1-11 ATS final season.
Just like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons However, that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A coach brings a fresh attitude and with this being a match, Satterfield will sell his staff on building a statement. Louisville does need to trust never and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly using all the blue and gold is only 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS when dishing out 20 or more digits. That defense you said may improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, even when you dont/cant amuse like Bama or Clemson, it will take time.
I was becoming a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, because Louisville might be greater than last year but I would submit that they are trained with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable record left by an equally awkward coach such as Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that laying nearly three touchdowns on the road is square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but on occasion the general public is right, and in this instance they are. Until once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week next week, lets see what happens on Monday once the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
