Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and I will detract to dip our feet into uncharted waters and then leave our college football picks on the Monday night game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this year we do this, as the last week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season sport of NCAA football comprising one of the top teams in the country, and a mythical football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while I endorsed the Titans. We have been placing wins back and forth so it looks like it is my turn to the golden wreath, as I will follow each of the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a street favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days ahead of the Monday night event, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point on the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its now offered at a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever of the very best online sportsbooks.
I enjoy the Irish but you are leaning on the Cardinals. Apart from the venue, why do you think Louisville can hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: YesSwinger, IMO and at least a successful win, it said a lot about the Steelers and Titans direction. Let us proceed to soccer, where the matches rely and will our records with this one.
Recall Louisville used to play against competitions? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games to watch and also the Cardinals were an club.
However, just like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles in Appalachian State and are out to change the civilization and win games. This will not happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a major time for Louisville, a team that has the chance.
I have read where the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall because the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins the shield that makes me more nervous. You have up your Irish, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a team coming from a dismal album last year, in which they went winless. This rebuild is like trying to turn it and getting a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a team which made it into the CFP last year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders averaging 33 points per game over.
My question is, just how can be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to discharge, designed to obtain some traction against a defense? Especially when he is working with a coach and an offensive scheme that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville will be able to keep up with this Golden Domers and I am desperate to handicapping expertise that is prodigious and your ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to read in your last sentence youre coming over to the bright side of sport gambling, or you are simply being the identical shrewd a** you usually are. I will allow the SBR readers that are making college football picks decide on this. Im the first to realize Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 and completely sucked last year.
Just like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons, However, that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new attitude is brought by A trainer and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on creating a statement with this being a match. Louisville does have to trust not and the Irish will take them have much fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly with gold and the blue is only 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS, when dishing out more or 20 specimens. That defense you mentioned may improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, even whenever you dont/can not amuse like Bama or Clemson, it will take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville might be better than last year but I would submit that they could be coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable record left by an trainer such as Petrino.
I know that laying nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but on occasion the general public is right, and in this situation they certainly are. Until once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week next week, lets see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
