Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and that I shall detract from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL discussion to dip our feet and then render our school football selections.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this year we do this, as the previous week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season sport of NCAA football 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 while the Titans were supported by me. Weve been swapping wins back and forth so it appears like its my turn to get the gold wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will accompany each of the squares laying the lumber on a public road favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days prior to this Monday night affair, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point about the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered in a solid -20 round the board at all the best internet sportsbooks.
I enjoy the Irish but youre leaning to the Cardinals. Aside from the venue do you believe Louisville can hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yes, Swinger, a convincing win and IMO, it said a lot about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Lets move to football, where the matches rely and will our recordings on this one.
Recall all those Thursday night games Louisville used to perform against competitions that are big-name? They held their engineered and own many upsets. These were enjoyable games to see and the Cardinals were an exciting club.
But like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville football last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out win matches and to alter the civilization and worked miracles at Appalachian State. This wont happen right away as the talent level is down in theVille. Yet this is a moment 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 like Hassan Hall as the direct running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins the shield that makes me more nervous. Please do tell why youve got your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest, flying into this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a team coming off of a dismal 2-10 album where they went winless this past year. This rebuild is comparable to trying to turn it in an F-22 Raptor and carrying a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is facing a group which made it to the CFP last year and possessed 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 till they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per match.
So, my question is, how is a quarterback like Pass whos slow to discharge, supposed to get some traction against a swarming defense? Particularly when hes working with a new trainer and an offensive strategy?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep pace with the Golden Domers and I am desperate for handicapping experience that is prodigious and your brand new wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im happy to read in your last sentence you are coming over to the sunny side of sport gambling, or you are simply being the identical wise a** you usually are. I will let the SBR readers that are currently making this is decided on by college football picks. Im the first to comprehend Louisville completely sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 last year.
However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons. A fresh mindset is brought by A new trainer on building a statement, and with this being a match, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to expect never and the Irish will take them have much fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly with the blue and gold is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS when dishing out more or 20 digits. This defense you mentioned may improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, if you dont/cant amuse like Clemson or Bama, it will take some time.
I was being a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping restart that then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this case, because Louisville might be greater but Id submit that they are coached with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their record left by an coach such as Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the street would be square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but on occasion the people is correct, and also in this case they are. Until next week when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
