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 on the Monday night game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and also I will detract from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL debate to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will probably be the first and only time this year we do so, as the last week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season sport of NCAA soccer featuring one of the very best clubs in the nation, and a legendary football 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 bet about the Steelers while the Titans were supported by me. We have been placing wins on and back so it appears like it is my turn for the gold wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will follow each of the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a public street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days before 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 now offered in a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever of the best internet sportsbooks.
I like the Irish but youre leaning in this battle onto the Cardinals. Apart from the place do you believe Louisville could hang with the boys in South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yes, Swinger, and a successful triumph IMO, said a lot about the management of both the Steelers and Titans. Let us proceed to soccer, so will our records on this one and in which the games rely.
Recall all those Thursday night matches Louisville used to perform against big-name competitions? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were enjoyable games and also the Cardinals were an golf club.
But for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles in Appalachian State and will be out to change the civilization and win games. This wont happen right away as the talent level is down in theVille. Yet , this is a moment for Louisville, a group that has the chance to begin taking actions in the ideal direction.
I have read in which the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall since the lead running back. The protection which makes me more worried than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. Why you have up your Irish, please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest flying into this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a group coming off of a dismal album in which they went winless in ACC action this past year. This rebuild is comparable to taking a hot air balloon and attempting to turn it in an F-22 Raptor.
While that may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a group that made it into the CFP this past year and possessed one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 till they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per match.
My query is, how will be a quarterback like traveling who is slow to release, supposed to gain some traction against a swarming shield? Particularly when hes working with an offensive strategy that is entirely new and a coach?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to be able to keep up and I am desperate to your sage wisdom and handicapping experience that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to see in your last sentence youre coming on to the glowing side of sports gambling, or youre simply being the exact shrewd a** you are. Ill let the SBR readers who are making that is decided on by college football picks. I am the first to understand Louisville fully pumped and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 final year.
Just like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons, but that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new mindset is brought by A new coach and his team will be sold by Satterfield on making a statement, this being a national match. Louisville does need to trust not and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly using the blue and gold is ATS as a road favorite, also if dishing out 20 or more specimens, a ATS. That defense you said may improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, even whenever you dont/cant recruit like Clemson or Bama, it will take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping that was impressive restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this scenario, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville could be better but Id submit that they are trained by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their record left by an coach like Petrino.
I understand that laying nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but at times the people is right, and also in this situation they definitely are. Until when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, let us see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
