Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our school football selections on the Monday night game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and also I will deviate from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL discussion to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this year we do so, as the previous week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season sport of NCAA football featuring one of the best teams in the country, plus a mythical football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a bet on the Steelers while I backed the Titans. We have been swapping wins back and forth so it looks like it is my turn to the wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will follow each of the squares laying the lumber on a road favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days ahead of this Monday night affair, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point on the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered in a solid -20 round the board at all of the very best internet sportsbooks.
I like the Irish but you are currently leaning onto the Cardinals within this battle. Besides the venue, why is it that you believe Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes, Swinger, a win and at least IMO, it said a great deal about the Steelers and Titans direction. Lets move ahead to real soccer, in which the matches rely and will our records on this one.
Recall those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to play against opponents? They held their engineered and own several upsets. These were fun games and also the Cardinals were an club.
But just like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out to change the civilization and win matches and worked wonders at Appalachian State. This wont happen right away as the talent level is down in theVille. This is a time for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity to start taking actions in the ideal direction.
I have read in which the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall because the direct running back. The defense, well, which makes me more worried than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. Please do tell youve got your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much since the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest flying into this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a team coming off of a dismal record this past year, in which they went winless. This rebuild is comparable to seeking to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and carrying a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is facing a team which made it to the CFP this past 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 clicked on all cylinders as well, averaging over 33 points per match.
My query is, just how will be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to discharge, supposed to obtain any traction against a swarming Irish shield? Especially when he is working with a new coach and an offensive strategy?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will be able to keep pace and I am desperate for your sage wisdom and prodigious handicapping expertise!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to read in your last sentence you are coming on to the glowing side of sports gambling, or you are simply being the same shrewd a** you are. I will let the SBR readers that are making that is decided on by college football picks. I am the first to realize Louisville fully pumped and was not just 2-10, however, 1-11 ATS final season.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons but that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A fresh attitude is brought by A new trainer and this being a federal game, Satterfield can sell his new team on making a statement. Louisville does have to hope they will not be taken by that the Irish and never have a lot of fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly using gold and all the blue is ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS, if dishing out 20 or more specimens. That defense you mentioned might improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, when you dont/can not recruit like Clemson or Bama, it is going to take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping that was impressive resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville might be better than last season but Id submit that they are trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable document rendered by an coach like Petrino.
I understand that placing nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but on occasion the public is right, and also in this situation they certainly are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday when the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
