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 picks and also that I will deviate from our regularly scheduled program of NFL discussion to dip our feet.
It will probably be the very first and only time this year we do so, as the last week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season game of NCAA soccer featuring one of the very best teams in the country, plus a mythical soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a bet on the Steelers while I backed the Titans. We have been swapping wins back and forth so it appears like its my turn to the golden wreath, as I will follow the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a public road favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days ahead of this Monday night affair, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point on the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered in a solid -20 round the board at all of the best online sportsbooks.
Youre currently leaning to the Cardinals although I enjoy the Irish. Aside from the place, why is it that you think Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup Swinger, and a convincing win IMO, it said a lot about the Steelers and Titans management. Let us move to soccer, in which the matches count and so will our recordings with this one.
Remember those Thursday night games Louisville utilized to play against competitions that are big-name? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were enjoyable games and the Cardinals were an golf club.
However, just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its phony (in real life) owner, Louisville football last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out win games and to alter the civilization and worked wonders in Appalachian State. This wont happen immediately as the talent level is down from theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a team which has the chance.
I have read in which the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall since the lead running back. The shield that makes me more nervous than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. Why you have your Irish up, please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much flying in this game since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a group coming from a dismal album last year where they went winless. This rebuild is comparable to attempting to turn it and taking a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is facing a group which made it to the CFP this past year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense has been clicking on all cylinders also, averaging 33 points per game over.
My issue is, how will be a quarterback like traveling who is slow to discharge, supposed to obtain any traction against a swarming shield that is Irish? Particularly when hes working with a new coach and an offensive strategy that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep up with this Golden Domers and I am desperate for handicapping expertise that is prodigious and the ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to read in your last sentence youre coming over to the sunny side of sports betting, or you are just being the same wise a** you usually are. I will allow the SBR readers that are making college football selections decide on that. Im the first to realize Louisville sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 final year.
Just like he composed on the Atlanta Falcons However, that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A fresh mindset is brought by A new coach and his team will be sold by Satterfield on creating a statement, with this being a federal match. Louisville does need to hope they will not be taken by the Irish for granted and never have much fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly with all the gold and blue is ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS when dishing out more or 20 specimens. That defense you mentioned may improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, even when you dont/cant recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it is going to take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because although youve got an impressive handicapping resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, because Louisville could be better compared to last year but I would submit that they are trained with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their record rendered by an trainer like 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 correct, and also in this instance they certainly are. Until when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
