Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and that I shall detract from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL discussion to dip our toes into uncharted waters and then also leave our college football selections on the Monday night game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals.
It will probably be the first and only time this season we do so, as the previous week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season game of NCAA soccer comprising one of the best teams in the nation, and a mythical soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a wager on the Steelers while the Titans were backed by me. We have been swapping wins back and forth so it looks like it is my turn to get the gold wreath, since I heartily endorse the Irish and will follow all the squares putting the thick lumber onto a public road favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days prior to this Monday night event, I see that the line has spiked a half-point about the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered at a solid -20 round the board whatsoever the best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I love the Irish but you are leaning to the Cardinals. Besides the place, why do you believe Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes IMO and a convincing triumph, said a lot about the management of both the Steelers and Titans. Let us move ahead to soccer, in which the games count and so will our records on this one.
Recall Louisville utilized to perform against competitions that are big-name? They more than held their own and engineered several upsets. These were fun games and also the Cardinals were a thrilling club.
However, such as the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville football last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out to change the civilization and win games and worked wonders in Appalachian State. This wont happen right away as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a significant moment for Louisville, a team that has the chance to start taking actions in the ideal direction.
I have read where the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall because the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the protection, well, which makes me more nervous. Why you have up your Irish, please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest, flying in this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a group this past year, where they went winless coming off of a dismal album. This rebuild is comparable to trying to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and carrying a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a team which made it to the CFP this past year and owned 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 till they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders as well, averaging over 33 points per match.
So, my query is, just how can be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to discharge, designed to obtain any traction against a swarming shield that is Irish? Especially when hes working with a coach and an offensive scheme?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to have the ability to keep pace with this Golden Domers and I am desperate for the sage wisdom and prodigious handicapping experience!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to read in your last sentence youre coming on to the sunny side of sports betting, or you are simply being the exact same wise a** you usually are. I will allow the SBR readers that are making school football selections decide on that. I am the first to realize Louisville completely sucked and was, however, 1-11 ATS final year.
Like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons, However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A fresh attitude is brought by A coach and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on creating a statement, this being a match. Louisville does have to trust the Irish will take them and never have a lot of fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly using gold and the blue is ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS if dishing out 20 or more specimens. That defense you mentioned may improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, when you dont/cant amuse like Bama or Clemson, it is going to take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because although you have an impressive handicapping resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this event, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville could be greater than last year but Id submit that they are trained with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable record rendered by an equally inept trainer such as Petrino.
I know that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the street is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but on occasion the public is correct, and also in this case they are. Until next week once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
