Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our college football picks on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then that I shall deviate to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will probably be the very first and only time this season we do this, as the previous week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season game of NCAA soccer comprising one of the top teams in the country, and a legendary football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a wager about the Steelers while the Titans were backed by me. We have been swapping wins back and on so it looks like its my turn to the wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will accompany the squares putting the thick lumber on a road favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days prior to this Monday night affair, I see that the line has spiked a half-point on the preferred, starting Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered at a strong -20 around the board whatsoever the very best internet sportsbooks.
I love the Irish but you are leaning on the Cardinals in this season-opening battle. Other than the place, why is it that you think Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup IMO and a convincing triumph, it said a great deal about the Steelers and Titans management. Let us proceed to real football, where the games count 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 enjoyable games to see and also the Cardinals were a thrilling club.
However, like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out to alter the civilization and win matches and worked wonders. This wont happen right away as the talent level is down from theVille. This is a time for Louisville, a group that has the chance.
I have read in which the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall since the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the shield that makes me more worried. Please do tell why you have up your Irish.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing flying in this game as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and hes got a team coming off of a dismal 2-10 album in which they went winless last year. This rebuild is comparable to seeking to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is facing a group that made it to the CFP last year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per game.
My issue is, just how is a quarterback like Pass who is slow to discharge, designed to gain any traction against a Irish defense? Especially when he is working with a new trainer and an offensive scheme that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep pace and I am desperate for handicapping expertise that is prodigious and your brand new wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to see in your last sentence youre coming on to the glowing side of sport gambling, or youre just being the identical wise a** you usually are. Ill let the SBR readers that are making that is decided on by school football selections. Im the first to understand Louisville completely sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 last year.
Just like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons, However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new attitude is brought by A new coach on making a statement, and this being a national game, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to trust not and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have much fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly using all the blue and gold is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS, when dishing out 20 or more specimens. This defense you said may improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, whenever you dont/can not recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it will take some time.
I was being a bit facetious because though youve got an impressive handicapping restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this case, because Louisville might be better compared to last year but I would submit that they are trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their album rendered by an trainer like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the road is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but at times the general public is right, and also in this instance they are. Until when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week next week, let us see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
