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 picks and then I shall detract to dip our toes into uncharted waters.
It will probably be the very first and only time this year we do this, as the last week of exhibition NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season game of NCAA football comprising one of the greatest teams in the country, and a legendary soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while I endorsed the Titans. We have been swapping wins forth and back so it appears like it is my turn for the gold wreath, as I will follow the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a public street favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days ahead of the Monday night affair, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point about the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is presently offered in a solid -20 round the board whatsoever the very best internet sportsbooks.
I enjoy the Irish but youre currently leaning in this clash to the Cardinals. Besides the place do you think Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup IMO and a convincing triumph, said a lot about the Steelers and Titans direction. Let us proceed to soccer, in which the matches rely and will our records on this one.
Recall Louisville utilized to play against big-name competitions? They held their own and engineered many upsets. These were fun games to watch and the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
However, such as the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out win games and to change the civilization and worked miracles at Appalachian State. This will not happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a staff that has the chance to start taking steps.
I have read in which the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall because the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the defense, well, which makes me more worried. You have up your Irish, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest flying in this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a team coming from a dismal 2-10 record this past year, where they went winless. This rebuild is comparable to trying to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and carrying a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is facing a team that made it to the CFP last year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per match.
My query is, how can be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to discharge, supposed to obtain some traction against a swarming defense that is Irish? Especially when hes working with a coach and an offensive scheme that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, save 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 Im desperate to handicapping expertise that is prodigious and the ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to see in your last sentence youre coming over to the glowing side of sports gambling, or you are just being the identical shrewd a** you are. Ill let the SBR readers that are making this is decided on by school football picks. I am the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 and completely sucked final season.
However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons. A fresh attitude is brought by A new trainer and this being a match, Satterfield will market his staff on creating a statement. Louisville does have to hope not and the Irish will take them for granted have a lot of fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly with the gold and blue is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS, if dishing out 20 or more specimens. That defense you said might improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, if you dont/can not recruit like Clemson or even Bama, it is going to take some time.
I was a bit facetious because although you have an impressive handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this scenario, because Louisville might be greater but I would submit that they are trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable document left by an equally inept trainer such as Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly three touchdowns on the road would be square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the public is right, and in this situation they certainly are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week next week, let us see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
