Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our school football selections on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then also I will detract to dip our toes into uncharted waters.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this year we do so, as the previous week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season game of NCAA soccer comprising one of the very best teams in the nation, plus a legendary soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a bet on the Steelers while I supported the Titans. We have been placing wins forth and back so it appears like its my turn for the wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will accompany the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a public street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days prior to this Monday night affair, I see the line has spiked a half-point about the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered at a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever the very best online sportsbooks.
I love the Irish but youre currently leaning on the Cardinals. Other than the venue, why do you think Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup Swinger, IMO and at least a successful win, said a great deal about both the Steelers and Titans management. Lets move to football, so will our recordings on this one and in which the matches rely.
Recall all those Thursday night matches Louisville used to perform against competitions? They held their engineered and own many upsets. These were fun games to see and also the Cardinals were an club.
But like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles and will be out win games and to change the culture. This wont happen immediately as the talent level is down from theVille. This is a significant moment for Louisville, a team that has the chance to start taking steps in the right direction.
I have read where the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall as the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the defense that makes me more worried. Why you have your Irish up, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest flying into this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a group this past year, in which they went winless coming off of a dismal 2-10 record. This rebuild is akin to carrying a hot air balloon and attempting to turn it.
While this could eventually occur, the problem 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, surrendering just 17.2 points over the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense has been clicking on all cylinders averaging 33 points per match over.
My question is, how is a quarterback like Pass whos slow to discharge, designed to obtain any traction against a swarming defense that is Irish? Especially when hes working with a coach and an entirely new offensive strategy?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to be able to keep pace and I am desperate to handicapping experience and your sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to read in your last sentence you are coming over to the bright side of sport betting, or you are just being the exact identical shrewd a** you are. Ill let the SBR readers that are currently making school football selections decide on that. Im the first to understand Louisville sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 final year.
But that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, like he gave up to the Atlanta Falcons. A fresh attitude is brought by A new coach and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on building a statement with this being a game. Louisville does have to hope they will not be taken by the Irish and never have much fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly using all the gold and blue is only 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS, if dishing out 20 or more digits. That defense you said might improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, when you dont/can not recruit like Clemson or even Bama, it will take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping that was impressive restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this instance, because Louisville might be better than last year but Id submit that they are coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable document rendered by an inept trainer such as Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the street is square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but at times the general public is right, and in this case they certainly are. Until when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week next week, let us see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
