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 Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then also that I will detract 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 compared to a regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the top clubs in the country, plus a legendary football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while I supported the Titans. Weve been swapping wins back and forth so it appears like it is my turn to the golden wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will follow the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a road favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days ahead of the Monday night event, I see that the line has spiked a half-point on the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered in a solid -20 round the board at all of the best online sportsbooks.
I enjoy the Irish but youre leaning to the Cardinals in this season-opening clash. Besides the place is it that you believe Louisville will hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup , Swinger, and a convincing win IMO, said a lot about the Steelers and Titans management. Let us proceed to real football, where the games rely and so will our recordings on this one.
Recall those Thursday night matches Louisville used to play against opponents that are big-name? They held their engineered and own several upsets. These were fun games to watch and also the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
But such as the former Papa Johns Stadium and its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out win games and to change the civilization and worked wonders in Appalachian State. This wont happen immediately as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a time for Louisville, a team that has the chance.
I have read in which the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall as the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the protection which makes me more nervous. Please do tell why you have up your Irish.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much flying in this game as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and hes got a group this past year, in which they went winless coming from a dismal record. This rebuild is akin to trying to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and carrying a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a team that made it to the CFP last year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging 33 points per game over.
My question is, just how can be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to discharge, supposed to get some traction against a Irish shield? Especially when hes working with a trainer and an offensive strategy?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep up with the Golden Domers and Im desperate for your brand new wisdom and handicapping expertise!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am glad to read in your last sentence youre coming around to the bright side of sport gambling, or youre simply being the identical shrewd a** you are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are currently making school football selections decide on this. Im the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 and completely sucked final year.
But that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons. A coach brings a new attitude and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on making a statement, this being a federal match. Louisville does have to trust the Irish will take them for granted and not have a lot of fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly with the blue and gold is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS, when dishing out 20 or more digits. That defense you said might improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, even if you dont/can not amuse like Bama or even Clemson, it is going to take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping that was impressive resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this event, because Louisville might be greater but Id submit that they are coached by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their document left by an trainer such as Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the street would be square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but on occasion the general public is correct, and in this situation they are. Until once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
