Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our school football selections on the Monday night match between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and that I shall deviate to dip our toes into uncharted waters.
It will most likely be the first and only time this season we do so, as the previous week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season sport of NCAA football featuring one of the greatest clubs in the country, plus a mythical football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a wager on the Steelers while the Titans were backed by me. We have been swapping wins back and forth so it appears like its my turn to the golden wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will follow all the squares putting the thick lumber onto a road favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days ahead of this Monday night affair, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point about the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered in a solid -20 across the board at all the very best internet sportsbooks.
I love the Irish but you are currently leaning on the Cardinals. Other than the venue do you think Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes, Swinger, at least and a convincing triumph IMO, said a great deal about both the Steelers and Titans management. Lets move ahead to football, where the matches rely and will our records on this one.
Remember Louisville utilized to perform against competitions? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games to watch and also the Cardinals were a thrilling club.
However, for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders in Appalachian State and will be out win matches and to change the culture. This will not happen right away as the ability level is down in theVille. Yet this is a major time for Louisville, a group which has the opportunity to begin taking steps in the perfect direction.
Ive read where the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall because the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the shield which makes me more nervous. Why you have up your Irish, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest, flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and hes got a team coming off of a dismal album this past year where they went winless in ACC action. This rebuild is comparable to carrying a hot air balloon and seeking to turn it into an F-22 Raptor.
While this may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is facing a team that made it into the CFP last year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders also, averaging 33 points per match over.
My query is, how can be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to discharge, supposed to get any traction against a swarming shield? Especially when hes working with a coach and an offensive strategy that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to be able to keep pace and I am desperate for prodigious handicapping expertise and the brand new wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to see in your last sentence you are coming around to the bright side of sports gambling, or you are just being the same shrewd a** you usually are. I will let the SBR readers that are making this is decided on by college football picks. Im the first to recognize Louisville was not just 2-10, but 1-11 ATS and sucked final year.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons, However, that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new attitude is brought by A new trainer on making a statement and this being a national game, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to hope not and the Irish will take them for granted have a lot of fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly with the blue and gold is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS, if dishing out more or 20 digits. That defense you said might improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, whenever you dont/cant recruit like Clemson or Bama, it will take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping that was impressive resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this scenario, because Louisville might be better than last year but Id submit that they could be trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable record rendered by an coach such as Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the street would be square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but at times the public is right, and also in this situation they surely are. Until once 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.
