Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and I will detract from our regularly scheduled program of NFL discussion to dip our toes into uncharted waters and then leave our college football selections on the Monday night match between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this season we do this, as the previous week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season sport of NCAA soccer featuring one of the best clubs in the nation, plus a legendary football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while the Titans were supported by me. We have been placing wins forth and back so it appears like its my turn to get the gold wreath, as I will follow each of the squares laying the lumber on a public road favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days ahead of this Monday night affair, I see the line has spiked a half-point about the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its presently offered in a solid -20 throughout the board at all the very best internet sportsbooks.
I like the Irish but youre leaning within this clash on the Cardinals. Aside from the place, why do you believe Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup , Swinger, at least and a convincing triumph IMO, said a great deal about the direction of both the Steelers and Titans. Let us move ahead to real football, in which the matches count and will our records with this one.
Remember all those Thursday night games Louisville utilized to perform against opponents? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were enjoyable games and also the Cardinals were an club.
But just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out to alter the culture and win games and worked wonders at Appalachian State. This wont happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a group that has the chance.
Ive read in which the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall as the direct running back. The defense which makes me more nervous than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. You have your Irish up please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing 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 hes got a group coming off of a dismal 2-10 record last year, where they went winless in ACC activity. This rebuild is akin to carrying a hot air balloon and attempting to turn it.
While that may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a group that made it to the CFP last year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 till they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders as well, averaging over 33 points per match.
My query is, just how is a quarterback like Pass whos slow to discharge, supposed to obtain some traction against a swarming Irish shield? Especially when hes working with a 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 is going to be able to keep up and Im desperate to handicapping experience that is prodigious and the sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am glad to see in your last sentence you are coming around to the sunny side of sports gambling, or you are simply being the exact identical wise a** you are. I will let the SBR readers who are making school football selections decide on this. Im the first to understand Louisville completely sucked and was, however, 1-11 ATS final season.
Like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons, but that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A trainer brings a fresh mindset and his new staff will be sold by Satterfield about making a statement, this being a game. Louisville does have to hope never and they will not be taken by that the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly with the blue and gold is ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS when dishing out 20 or more specimens. That defense you mentioned might improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, even when you dont/cant recruit like Bama or Clemson, it is going to take time.
I was a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, because Louisville may be better compared to last year but I would submit that they could be coached by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their document rendered by an trainer like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the street would be square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the people is right, and in this case 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 squint at Louisville.
