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 Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then also that I will deviate from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL discussion to dip our toes.
It will most likely be the first and only time this year we do this, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season game of NCAA football featuring one of the greatest clubs in the nation, plus a mythical football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the best 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 looks like its my turn for the gold wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will follow all the squares laying the lumber on a road favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days before this Monday night affair, I see that the line has spiked a half-point about the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered at a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever the very best online sportsbooks.
You are currently leaning to the Cardinals although I enjoy the Irish. Apart from the place is it that you believe Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup IMO and at least a convincing triumph, it said a lot about the Steelers and Titans management. Let us move forward to real soccer, in which the matches rely and will our recordings on this one.
Recall Louisville used to perform against competitions that are big-name? They more than held their engineered and own upsets. These were enjoyable games to see and also the Cardinals were an golf club.
However, such as the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders and are out win games and to change the culture. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a time for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity.
I have read where the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall since the direct running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the defense which makes me more nervous. Please do tell why you have up your Irish.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest flying into this game. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and he has a group coming from a dismal record this past year, where they went winless in ACC activity. This rebuild is comparable to taking a hot air balloon and trying to turn it in an F-22 Raptor.
While that may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is facing a group which made it into the CFP last year and possessed 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 fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging 33 points per match over.
My issue is, just how will be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to release, designed to obtain any traction against a Irish defense? Particularly when hes working with a coach and an offensive scheme that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to have the ability to keep up with the Golden Domers and Im desperate for handicapping experience and the sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to read in your last sentence you are coming over to the glowing side of sport gambling, or youre just being the identical shrewd a** you are. Ill let the SBR readers that are currently making that is decided on by school football selections. I am the first to realize Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 and completely sucked final season.
Like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons but coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that team COMPLETELY. A fresh attitude is brought by A coach and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on making a statement with this being a federal match. Louisville does need to trust never and the Irish will take them have a lot of fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly using the blue and gold is only 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS if dishing out more or 20 specimens. That defense you mentioned may improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, if you dont/can not amuse like Bama or Clemson, it is going to take time.
I was becoming a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this case, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville might be better compared to last year but Id submit that they are coached by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable record rendered by an inept trainer such as Petrino.
I know that placing nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but on occasion the people is right, and in this situation they certainly are. Until once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, let us see what happens on Monday when the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
