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 picks on the Monday night game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then I will detract to dip our feet.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this season we do so, as the previous week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season game of NCAA soccer featuring one of the greatest teams in the country, and a legendary soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while the Titans were backed by me. Weve been swapping wins back and forth so it appears like its my turn for the wreath, as I will follow all the squares laying the heavy lumber on a street favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days ahead of this Monday night event, I see the line has spiked a half-point on the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is presently offered at a solid -20 round the board whatsoever the very best online sportsbooks.
I like the Irish but youre currently leaning in this season-opening battle on the Cardinals. Aside from the venue is it that you believe Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup a convincing win and at least IMO, it said a lot about the Steelers and Titans direction. Lets move ahead to football, where the games rely and so will our records on this one.
Recall Louisville utilized to play against competitions that are big-name? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were enjoyable games to see and the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
But like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles and are out to alter the culture and win matches. This wont happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a huge time for Louisville, a team which has the chance.
Ive read where the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall since the direct running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the protection, well, that makes me more worried. You have up your Irish please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest flying in this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a team coming from a dismal 2-10 album in which they went winless in ACC action last year. This rebuild is akin to seeking to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a group that made it to the CFP this past year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging 33 points per game over.
My issue is, how will be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to discharge, designed to obtain some traction against a swarming Irish shield? Especially when he is working with an offensive scheme that is entirely new and a new coach?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to have the ability to keep up and Im desperate for the sage wisdom and handicapping expertise that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im happy to see in your last sentence youre coming over to the bright side of sports betting, or youre only being the same shrewd a** you are. I will let the SBR readers that are currently making school football selections decide on this. Im the first to realize Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 and completely sucked final year.
Like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that team COMPLETELY. A coach brings a fresh attitude on creating a statement and with this being a national match, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to hope not and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have much fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly using gold and the blue is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also when dishing out 20 or more digits, a mere 7-9-1 ATS. That defense you said might improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, whenever you dont/can not amuse like Clemson or even Bama, it will take time.
I was a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping that was impressive restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this event, because Louisville could be greater but I would submit that they could be coached by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their record rendered by an trainer such as Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that placing nearly three touchdowns on the road is square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but on occasion the general public is right, and also in this situation they certainly are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week next week, lets see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
