Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our college football selections on the Monday night match between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and then I shall detract from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL debate to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this year we do this, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season game of NCAA soccer comprising one of the greatest clubs in the country, plus a mythical football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while I supported the Titans. We have been placing wins forth and back so it looks like its my turn for the golden wreath, as I will follow each of the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a public street favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days ahead of the Monday night event, I see the line has spiked a half-point about the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered in a solid -20 round the board at all of the best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I love the Irish but youre currently leaning within this season-opening battle onto the Cardinals. Besides the venue, why do you think Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes IMO and at least a convincing win, it said a lot about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Let us move to real soccer, so will our records with this one and where the matches rely.
Remember all those Thursday night games Louisville utilized to perform against big-name opponents? They more than held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games to see and the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
But for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders and are out win games and to alter the civilization. This wont happen immediately as the ability level is down in theVille. However , this is a significant moment for Louisville, a group that has the opportunity.
I have read in which the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall as 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 dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest flying in this match. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and he has a group coming from a dismal 2-10 record last year, where they went winless. This rebuild is akin to trying to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is facing a team which made it to 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 regular season and going a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per match.
So, my issue is, just how will be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to release, designed to get any traction against a swarming shield that is Irish? Especially when he is working with a new coach and an offensive strategy that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville will have the ability to keep up and I am desperate for handicapping experience that is prodigious and your sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to see in your last sentence you are coming on to the glowing side of sport gambling, or youre just being the identical shrewd a** you are. I will let the SBR readers who are currently making that is decided on by college football picks. I am the first to understand Louisville completely sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 last year.
Just like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons, but that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new coach brings a new attitude and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on building a statement this being a federal game. Louisville does have to trust never and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly using gold and the blue is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS when dishing out 20 or more digits. That defense you said might improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, even if you dont/can not amuse like Clemson or even Bama, it is going to take some time.
I was a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville could be better compared to last year but Id submit that they are trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their record rendered by an coach such as Petrino.
I know that laying nearly three touchdowns on the road would be square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but on occasion the people is correct, and in this situation they surely are. Until next week once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
