Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our college football selections and then also that I will deviate from our regularly scheduled program of NFL discussion to dip our feet.
It will probably be the very first and only time this year we do so, as the last week of exhibition NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the greatest teams in the nation, plus a mythical soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a wager on the Steelers while the Titans were backed by me. We have been swapping wins back and forth so it appears like it is my turn for the wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will accompany the squares laying the heavy lumber on a street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days before the Monday night affair, I see the lineup has jeopardized a half-point on the preferred, starting Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now available at a strong -20 throughout the board at all the best online sportsbooks.
I love the Irish but youre currently leaning onto the Cardinals. Other than the venue is it that you think Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup IMO and a convincing win, said a lot about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Lets proceed to football, so will our recordings with this one and where the games rely.
Remember those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to play against opponents? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were enjoyable games to see and also the Cardinals were an exciting club.
However, just including the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out to change the civilization and win matches and worked miracles. This wont happen right away as the talent level is down in theVille. Yet , this is a significant time for Louisville, a group which has the opportunity 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 that I enjoy Hassan Hall as the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the protection, well, which makes me more nervous. Why you have your Irish up please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing flying into this game as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest. Scott Satterfield is now in the big leagues and hes got a group coming off of a dismal album last year where they went winless in ACC action. This rebuild is akin to seeking to turn it and taking a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is facing a team which made it to the CFP this past year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per game.
My issue is, just how will be a quarterback like traveling who is slow to release, supposed to gain some traction against a shield? Especially when he is working with an offensive scheme and a new trainer?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville will have the ability to keep pace and Im desperate to the ancestral wisdom and handicapping experience!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to read in your last sentence you are coming around to the glowing side of sport gambling, or you are just being the exact same shrewd a** you are. Ill allow the SBR readers that are currently making that is decided on by school football picks. Im the first to realize Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 and sucked last season.
Like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons, but that team 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 team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to trust never and also 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 ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS, if dishing out 20 or more specimens. That defense you mentioned might improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, even when you dont/can not amuse like Bama or Clemson, it is going to take time.
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 scenario, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville could be better compared to last year but I would submit that they could be coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their record left by an coach such as Petrino.
I understand that laying nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but on occasion the public is right, and also in this situation they are. Until next week when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
