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 on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then also that I shall deviate to dip our feet.
It will probably be the very first and only time this season we do this, as the previous week of exhibition NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season sport of NCAA soccer featuring one of the best clubs in the nation, plus a mythical football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a wager on the Steelers while the Titans were endorsed by me. We have been swapping wins on and back so it appears like it is my turn for the gold wreath, as I will follow each of the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a public street favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days ahead of this Monday night affair, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point on the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered at a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever the very best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but youre currently leaning to the Cardinals. Other than the place do you believe Louisville will hang with the boys in South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yes IMO and a successful win, said a great deal about both the Steelers and Titans management. Lets proceed to football, will our recordings with this one and in which the games rely.
Remember Louisville used to perform against competitions that are big-name? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were fun games to see and the Cardinals were an golf club.
But just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out win matches and to alter the culture and worked wonders. This will not happen right away as the talent level is down in theVille. Yet , this is a time for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity 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. The protection which makes me more worried than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. 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 game. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and hes got a team this past year, where they went winless coming off of a dismal album. This rebuild is comparable to attempting to turn it in an F-22 Raptor and taking a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it into the CFP this past year and possessed one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging 33 points per match over.
My query is, how is a quarterback like Pass who is slow to discharge, designed to gain some traction against a defense that is Irish? Particularly when hes working with an offensive scheme and a new coach?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to be able to keep up and Im desperate for the ancestral wisdom and handicapping experience that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to read in your last sentence youre coming on to the sunny side of sport betting, or you are simply being the exact shrewd a** you usually are. Ill let the SBR readers that are making school football picks decide on that. Im the first to realize Louisville sucked and was, but 1-11 ATS final season.
But that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, just like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons. A trainer brings a new mindset on creating a statement and this being a match, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to hope not and the Irish will take them for granted have much fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly using all the gold and blue is ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS if dishing out 20 or more digits. This defense you mentioned may improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, when you dont/cant recruit like Bama or Clemson, it will take some time.
I was being a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, because Louisville could be better compared to last year but I would submit that they are trained with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their document left by an equally inept trainer such as Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the road is square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but on occasion the public is correct, and in this case they definitely are. Until next week once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
