Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our college football picks on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and also that I will detract from our regularly scheduled program of NFL debate to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will almost certainly be the very first and only time this season we do so, as the previous week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season sport of NCAA soccer featuring one of the top teams in the nation, and a legendary soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a wager on the Steelers while the Titans were supported by me. Weve been placing wins back and forth so it appears like its my turn to the gold wreath, as I will follow each of the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a public road favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days prior to 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 it is now offered at a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever the very best online sportsbooks.
I enjoy the Irish but you are currently leaning in this clash onto the Cardinals. Other than the place is it that you believe Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup and a successful win IMO, said a great deal about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Let us move ahead to real football, will our records with this one and in which the matches count.
Remember those Thursday night matches Louisville used to play against competitions? They more than held their own and engineered upsets. These were enjoyable games to watch and the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
But for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles in Appalachian State and are out win matches and to alter the culture. This wont happen right away as the talent level is down in theVille. This is a big time for Louisville, a group that has the chance to start taking actions.
Ive read in which the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall as the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the protection that makes me more worried. Why you have your Irish up, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and he has a team this past year, where they went winless in ACC action coming from a dismal album. This rebuild is akin to taking a hot air balloon and trying to turn it.
While this may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is facing a group which made it into 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 moving a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders as well, averaging 33 points per game over.
So, my query is, how is a quarterback like traveling who is slow to discharge, supposed to gain some traction against a Irish defense? Especially when he is working with an offensive scheme and a new coach?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville will be able to keep pace with the Golden Domers and I am desperate to the brand new wisdom and prodigious handicapping experience!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to see in your last sentence youre coming over to the sunny side of sports gambling, or youre simply being the exact shrewd a** you are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are making this is decided on by school football picks. Im the first to understand Louisville fully pumped and was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 last season.
Like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons but coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that staff COMPLETELY. A new trainer brings a fresh attitude and with this being a game, Satterfield will market his staff. Louisville does need to hope the Irish will take them for granted and never have much fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly using gold and the blue is ATS as a road favorite, also when dishing out 20 or more specimens, a mere 7-9-1 ATS. This defense you said may improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, whenever you dont/can not amuse like Bama or even Clemson, it will take time.
I was being a bit facetious because although you have an impressive handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville might be greater but I would submit that they are coached by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their document rendered by an equally inept coach such as Petrino.
I understand that placing nearly three touchdowns on the street would be square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but sometimes the public is right, and in this situation they definitely 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.
