Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our school football selections on the Monday night match between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and I shall deviate to dip our toes.
It will most likely be the first and only time this year we do so, as the last week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season game of NCAA football featuring one of the best teams in the nation, and a mythical football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a wager on the Steelers while I supported the Titans. Weve been placing wins back and on so it looks like its my turn to get the gold wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will follow each of the squares putting the thick lumber onto a public road favorite.
After reviewing the school soccer odds nearly six days ahead of this Monday night event, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point on the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered in a solid -20 round the board at all the best internet sportsbooks.
I love the Irish but you are currently leaning in this battle onto the Cardinals. Aside from the venue is it that you think Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup IMO and a convincing triumph, said a great deal about the management of both the Steelers and Titans. Lets move ahead to soccer, so will our recordings on this one and in which the matches rely.
Remember Louisville used to play against opponents? They held their own and engineered several upsets. These were fun games to see and also the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
However, like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville football last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out win matches and to alter the civilization and worked wonders. This will not happen right away as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a time for Louisville, a group which has the chance.
Ive read where the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall since the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the shield, well, which makes me more nervous. You have your Irish up please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest, flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and hes got a group coming off of a dismal 2-10 album last year, where they went winless. This rebuild is akin to seeking to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is facing a team that made it to the CFP this past year and possessed one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders also, averaging 33 points per game over.
My query is, how is a quarterback like traveling whos slow to release, supposed to gain some traction against a Irish shield? Particularly when hes working with an offensive scheme that is entirely new and a new coach?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will be able to keep pace and Im desperate for the sage wisdom and handicapping expertise that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am glad to see in your last sentence you are coming over to the sunny side of sport betting, or youre just being the exact same shrewd a** you are. Ill let the SBR readers who are making that is decided on by school football picks. Im the first to realize Louisville fully pumped and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 last year.
Like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new attitude is brought by A new coach and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on creating a statement, with this being a match. Louisville does have to hope never and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have much fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly using the gold and blue is ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS when dishing out more or 20 digits. This defense you mentioned might improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, when you dont/can not amuse like Clemson or even Bama, it will take time.
I was being a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping that was impressive restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this instance, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville could be better but Id submit that they could be coached with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their own deplorable album rendered by an trainer such as Petrino.
I know that placing nearly three touchdowns on the road is square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but sometimes the general public 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 prepared to rumble in Louisville.
