Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and I shall detract from our regularly scheduled program of NFL debate to dip our feet and also leave our college football picks on the Monday night match between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals.
It will almost certainly be the very first and only time this year we do so, as the previous week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season game of NCAA football comprising one of the greatest clubs in the country, plus a mythical soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a bet about the Steelers while I backed the Titans. We have been swapping wins back and on so it looks like it is my turn to the golden wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will follow all the squares laying the heavy lumber onto a public road favorite.
After reviewing the college 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 its presently offered in a solid -20 round the board whatsoever the best online sportsbooks.
I like the Irish but youre leaning on the Cardinals. Besides the place, why do you think Louisville will hang with the boys in South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yes, Swinger, IMO and a convincing triumph, said a great deal about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Lets move to football, where the games rely and will our records on this one.
Remember Louisville used to perform against competitions that are big-name? They held their engineered and own several upsets. These were enjoyable games and also the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
However, just like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders at Appalachian State and are out to change the culture and win games. This will not happen immediately as the talent level is down in theVille. This is a big moment for Louisville, a group which has the chance to start taking actions.
Ive read where the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall because the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the defense that makes me more nervous. You have your Irish up please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest, flying in this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a group this past year, in which they went winless in ACC action coming off of a dismal album. This rebuild is akin to seeking to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is facing a team that made it into the CFP this past year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per match.
My issue is, just how can be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to release, designed to gain some traction against a swarming shield? Particularly when he is working with an offensive strategy that is entirely new and a coach?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to be able to keep pace and Im desperate for prodigious handicapping expertise and the ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to see in your last sentence you are coming on to the bright side of sports betting, or you are just being the identical wise a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers that are currently making school football selections decide on that. Im the first to understand Louisville completely sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 last year.
However, that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons. A trainer brings a fresh mindset on building a statement and with this being a federal match, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to hope the Irish will take them and never have much fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly with gold and the blue is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS if dishing out more or 20 digits. That defense you said might improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, if you dont/can not amuse 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 that was impressive restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this event, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville could be greater compared to last year but I would submit that they are trained by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable document left by an trainer such as Petrino.
I understand that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the street would be square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but at times the people is right, and also 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 once the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
