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 and then also that I will detract from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL discussion to dip our feet.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this year we do this, as the last week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season game of NCAA soccer featuring one of the greatest clubs in the country, plus a mythical soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while the Titans were backed by me. We have been swapping wins back and forth so it looks like its my turn for the golden wreath, as I will accompany the squares putting the thick lumber onto a public road favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days ahead of the Monday night affair, I see the line has spiked a half-point about the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its now offered in a solid -20 across the board at all of the best online sportsbooks.
You are currently leaning onto the Cardinals in this clash although doug, I like the Irish. Besides the venue do you think Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes a win and at least IMO, said a lot about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Let us move ahead to soccer, where the matches count and so will our records with this one.
Recall those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to perform against competitions that are big-name? They held their own and engineered many upsets. These were fun games to watch and also the Cardinals were an club.
But like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville football last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders and are out win games and to alter the civilization. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a time for Louisville, a team which has the opportunity to start taking actions.
Ive read where the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall as the direct running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the shield, well, that makes me more worried. You have up your Irish please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much flying in this game since the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and he has a team coming off of a dismal album last year, where they went winless. This rebuild is comparable to carrying a hot air balloon and attempting to turn it.
While that may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a team that made it into the CFP this past year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per match.
My issue is, how will be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to discharge, designed to gain any traction against a shield? Particularly when he is working with a new coach and an entirely new offensive strategy?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep up and Im desperate to your sage wisdom and handicapping experience!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am glad to read in your last sentence you are coming on to the sunny side of sport betting, or youre just being the identical shrewd a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are making college football selections decide on this. I am the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 and completely sucked final year.
But that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons. A trainer brings a fresh attitude and his team will be sold by Satterfield on creating a statement, this being a federal match. Louisville does have to trust not and the Irish will take them have much fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly using gold and all the blue is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also when dishing out 20 or more digits, a mere 7-9-1 ATS. This defense you mentioned might improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, even if you dont/can not recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it is going to take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this scenario, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville could be better but I would submit that they could be trained by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their document left by an equally inept trainer such as Petrino.
I know that placing nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but at times the public is correct, and in this situation they definitely are. Until next week when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
