Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and that I will detract from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL discussion to dip our feet and leave our college football picks on the Monday night game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals.
It will probably be the very first and only time this year we do this, as the previous week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season game of NCAA football featuring one of the best clubs in the nation, and a mythical soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while the Titans were supported by me. We have been swapping wins back and forth so it appears like its my turn for the wreath, as I will follow the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a street favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days prior to the Monday night affair, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point about the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered in a solid -20 round the board at all of the best online sportsbooks.
I love the Irish but you are leaning within this season-opening battle on the Cardinals. Aside from the place do you believe Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes, Swinger, a win and IMO, said a lot about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Let us move to football, where the matches rely and so will our records with this one.
Recall Louisville used to perform against big-name opponents? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were fun games and the Cardinals were an golf club.
However, just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) owner, Louisville football last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out win matches and to change the civilization and worked wonders. This will not happen right away as the talent level is down from theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a group which has the opportunity.
I have read in which the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall as the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the shield which makes me more nervous. You have up your Irish please do inform.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much flying into this game since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and hes got a team coming off of a dismal 2-10 album in which they went winless in ACC activity last year. This rebuild is comparable to seeking to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and taking a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is facing a team that made it to the CFP last year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, equaling only 17.2 points within the normal season and heading a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders as well, averaging over 33 points per match.
My question is, how is a quarterback like traveling whos slow to release, supposed to obtain any traction against a shield? Particularly when he is working with an offensive scheme and a coach?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to have the ability to keep pace and Im desperate to handicapping expertise that is prodigious and the brand new wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to read in your last sentence you are coming around to the sunny side of sports betting, or you are simply being the identical wise a** you are. I will let the SBR readers who are currently making school football picks decide on that. Im the first to understand Louisville sucked and was, however 1-11 ATS last year.
Like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that staff COMPLETELY. A fresh mindset is brought by A coach on building a statement and with this being a match, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to trust the Irish will take them and not have much fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly with gold and the blue is only 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS when dishing out 20 or more specimens. That defense you mentioned may improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, even if you dont/can not recruit like Bama or Clemson, it will 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 instance, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville could be greater than last year but Id submit that they could be trained with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their record left by an coach such as Petrino.
I know that placing nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but on occasion the people is correct, and in this situation they surely are. Until when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
