Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and I shall detract to dip our feet into uncharted waters and leave our school football selections.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this season we do this, as the previous week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the very best clubs in the country, plus a legendary football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while the Titans were endorsed by me. We have been swapping wins back and on so it appears like its my turn to the wreath, as I will accompany the squares putting the thick lumber onto a public road favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days ahead of the Monday night affair, I see the line has spiked a half-point about the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered at a solid -20 across the board at all the best online sportsbooks.
I love the Irish but youre leaning onto the Cardinals in this clash. Besides the venue is it that you believe Louisville can hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup IMO and at least a successful win, said a lot about the direction of both the Steelers and Titans. Let us move ahead to football, in which the matches rely and so will our recordings on this one.
Remember those Thursday night matches Louisville used to play against opponents? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were fun games and also the Cardinals were an exciting club.
But for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) owner, Louisville football last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders in Appalachian State and will be out to alter the civilization and win matches. This wont happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a time for Louisville, a group which has the opportunity.
I have read in which the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall because the direct running back. The shield, well, that makes me more worried than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. Why you have up your Irish please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much since the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest, flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a group coming off of a dismal record where they went winless in ACC action last year. This rebuild is comparable to taking a hot air balloon and attempting to turn it in an F-22 Raptor.
While this may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is facing a group that made it into 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 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 game.
My query is, just how will be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to discharge, supposed to gain any traction against a swarming shield? Especially when he is working with an offensive strategy that is entirely new and a trainer?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to have the ability to keep pace and I am desperate to your ancestral wisdom and handicapping experience that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to see in your last sentence youre coming around to the bright side of sports betting, or youre just being the exact shrewd a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers that are making that is decided on by college football picks. I am the first to understand Louisville wasnt just 2-10, however 1-11 ATS and completely sucked final year.
Like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons, but that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new mindset is brought by A coach and with this being a federal game, Satterfield will market his team. Louisville does have to trust never and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have much fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly using all the blue and gold is ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS, when dishing out 20 or more digits. That defense you said might improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, even if you dont/can not amuse like Clemson or even Bama, it is going to take some time.
I was a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, because Louisville might be better but I would submit that they are coached with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their record rendered by an trainer such as Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the road is square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but on occasion the people is right, and also in this situation they are. Until next week once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
