Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and that I will deviate to dip our feet and leave our college football selections on the Monday night game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this year we do so, as the last week of exhibition NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season sport of NCAA football comprising one of the very best clubs in the country, plus a mythical football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a bet about the Steelers while the Titans were backed by me. Weve been placing wins forth and back so it looks like its my turn to the gold wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will accompany all the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a public street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days ahead of the Monday night affair, I see that 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 whatsoever the best internet sportsbooks.
You are currently leaning onto the Cardinals although doug, I love the Irish. Aside from the venue is it that you believe Louisville could hang with the boys in South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup , Swinger, at least and a triumph IMO, said a great deal about the management of both the Steelers and Titans. Lets proceed to football, so will our recordings with this one and in which the games count.
Recall all those Thursday night games Louisville used to perform against big-name opponents? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were enjoyable games to see and the Cardinals were an club.
However, just like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) owner, Louisville football last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out to alter the culture and win games and worked wonders in Appalachian State. This wont happen right away as the talent level is down from theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a team which has the opportunity to begin taking steps in the ideal direction.
I have read where the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall because the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the shield which makes me more nervous. You have your Irish up please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest, flying into this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a group coming off of a dismal 2-10 record this past year, in which they went winless in ACC activity. This rebuild is comparable to carrying a hot air balloon and attempting to turn it in an F-22 Raptor.
While this may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it to the CFP this past year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per game.
My question is, how will be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to release, supposed to obtain any traction against a swarming defense? Particularly when hes working with a completely new offensive scheme and a new coach?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to be able to keep pace with the Golden Domers and Im desperate for handicapping expertise and the sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am glad to read in your last sentence youre coming around to the sunny side of sports gambling, or youre just being the same wise a** you are. I will allow the SBR readers that are currently making this is decided on by college football selections. Im the first to understand Louisville sucked and was, but 1-11 ATS final season.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A coach brings a fresh attitude on creating a statement and this being a game, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to hope they will not be taken by the Irish for granted and never have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly using all the gold and blue is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also when decked out 20 or more digits, a ATS. That defense you mentioned might improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, when you dont/cant amuse like Clemson or Bama, it will take some time.
I was becoming a bit facetious because though you have an impressive handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, because Louisville might be better than last year but I would submit that they could be coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their record left by an awkward trainer like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that placing nearly three touchdowns on the street would be square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but sometimes the people is right, and also in this case they are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, let us see what happens on Monday when the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
