Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our school football selections and then I shall detract from our regularly scheduled program of NFL discussion to dip our toes.
It will almost certainly be the very first and only time this season we do so, as the previous week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the top clubs in the country, plus a mythical football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while I supported the Titans. Weve been placing wins on and back so it looks like its my turn to get the wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will accompany the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a public street favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days prior to this Monday night event, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point on the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered in a solid -20 round the board whatsoever the best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I enjoy the Irish but you are currently leaning within this battle on the Cardinals. Other than the venue do you think Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup a triumph and at least IMO, said a lot about the Steelers and Titans management. Let us move to real soccer, will our records on this one and in which the games count.
Recall Louisville used to play against big-name opponents? They held their own and engineered several upsets. These were fun games and also the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
But such as the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles and will be out win games and to change the culture. This will not happen right away as the talent level is down in theVille. Yet , this is a major moment for Louisville, a team that has the chance.
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 enjoy Hassan Hall since the direct running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the defense which makes me more nervous. Why you have up your Irish please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing flying in this game as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a team coming from a dismal record this past year where they went winless. This rebuild is comparable to attempting to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and carrying a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it to the CFP this past year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per game.
My issue is, how will be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to discharge, designed to gain some traction against a Irish shield? Especially when he is working with a completely new offensive strategy and a trainer?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to be able to keep up and Im desperate for the brand new wisdom and prodigious handicapping experience!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am glad to read in your last sentence you are coming on to the bright side of sport gambling, or you are simply being the exact wise a** you are. Ill allow the SBR readers that are making that is decided on by college football selections. Im the first to understand Louisville sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 last season.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that staff COMPLETELY. A new trainer brings a fresh mindset and this being a national game, Satterfield will market his staff on building a statement. Louisville does have to hope the Irish will take them and never have much fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly with the blue and gold is only 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS, if dishing out more or 20 specimens. That defense you said might improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, if you dont/cant recruit like Clemson or Bama, it will take some time.
I was becoming 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, because Louisville could be better than last year but Id submit that they are coached by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their document left by an coach like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the street is square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but sometimes the general public is correct, and in this instance they surely are. Until next week when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday when the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
