Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our college football picks and that I will deviate from our regularly scheduled program of NFL discussion to dip our feet.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this year we do so, as the last week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season game of NCAA football comprising one of the very best clubs in the country, and a mythical soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while I backed the Titans. Weve been swapping wins back and forth so it appears like it is my turn to the golden wreath, like I heartily endorse the Irish and will accompany each of the squares laying the heavy lumber onto a public road favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days before the Monday night event, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point on the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered in a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever the very best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I love the Irish but you are currently leaning within this season-opening clash onto the Cardinals. Other than the venue, why do you think Louisville can hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup at least and a win IMO, it said a lot about the Steelers and Titans management. Let us proceed to soccer, so will our records with this one and where the games rely.
Remember those Thursday night games Louisville utilized to perform against big-name opponents? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were enjoyable games to see and the Cardinals were an exciting club.
However, just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles in Appalachian State and are out win games and to change the culture. This wont happen immediately as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a significant time for Louisville, a team which has the opportunity to begin taking actions.
Ive read where the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall since the direct running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the protection, well, which makes me more nervous. Why you have your Irish up please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much flying in this match as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and he has a team coming from a dismal 2-10 album last year, where they went winless in ACC action. This rebuild is akin to trying to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is facing a team which made it into the CFP last year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per game.
My issue is, how will be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to discharge, supposed to gain some traction against a swarming shield that is Irish? Especially when he is working with a new coach and an offensive scheme that is entirely new?
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 with the Golden Domers and Im desperate for your ancestral wisdom and prodigious handicapping expertise!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to see in your last sentence you are coming around to the bright side of sport betting, or youre simply being the identical shrewd a** you are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are currently making that is decided on by school football selections. Im the first to realize Louisville fully pumped and was, however 1-11 ATS final year.
Like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons but that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new coach brings a new attitude and his team will be sold by Satterfield on making a statement this being a federal match. Louisville does need to trust the Irish will take them for granted and not have much fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly with the blue and gold is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS if dishing out more or 20 specimens. That defense you said might improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, when you dont/cant recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it is going to take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because although youve got an impressive handicapping resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this scenario, because Louisville might be greater compared to last year but I would submit that they could be trained by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable document left by an trainer such as Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that placing nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but at times the people is correct, and also in this instance they certainly are. Until once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, let us see what happens on Monday when the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
