Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our school football picks on the Monday night game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and then also I shall detract from our regularly scheduled program of NFL discussion to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will almost certainly be the very first and only time this season we do so, as the last week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season game of NCAA soccer comprising one of the very best clubs in the nation, and a legendary football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a wager on the Steelers while I supported the Titans. We have been placing wins back and forth so it appears like its my turn to the wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will accompany the squares putting the thick lumber on a public street favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days ahead of this Monday night event, I see the line has spiked a half-point about the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its now offered in a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever the best online sportsbooks.
I enjoy the Irish but you are leaning on the Cardinals in this season-opening battle. Aside from the venue, why do you think Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes, Swinger, a triumph and IMO, it said a lot about the Steelers and Titans direction. Lets move ahead to football, where the matches rely and so will our records with this one.
Remember those Thursday night matches Louisville used to play against big-name opponents? They more than held their engineered and own upsets. These were enjoyable games to watch and the Cardinals were an golf club.
However, for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out to change the culture and win games and worked wonders. This wont happen immediately as the talent level is down in theVille. This is a time for Louisville, a team that has the chance.
I have read in which the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall since the lead running back. The protection, well, which makes me more worried than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. Please do tell you have up your Irish.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest, flying into this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a team last year, where they went winless coming off of a dismal 2-10 album. This rebuild is comparable to trying to turn it and taking a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is facing a group that made it to the CFP last year and owned 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 until they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders as well, averaging 33 points per match over.
My question is, just how will be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to discharge, designed to obtain any traction against a swarming defense that is Irish? Especially when hes working with an offensive strategy 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 be able to keep up and I am desperate for your brand new wisdom and handicapping experience that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to see in your last sentence you are coming around to the sunny side of sports betting, or youre just being the same shrewd a** you are. Ill let the SBR readers that are making that is decided on by school football picks. Im the first to understand Louisville wasnt only 2-10, however, 1-11 ATS and completely sucked final year.
Like he composed to the Atlanta Falcons However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A fresh attitude is brought by A new coach and his team will be sold by Satterfield on building a statement, with this being a match. Louisville does need to hope not and the Irish will take them have much fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly using the blue and gold is ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS when decked out 20 or more specimens. That defense you mentioned may improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, whenever you dont/cant recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it will take time.
I was a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this instance, because Louisville could be better than last year but Id submit that they could be coached with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable document rendered by an equally awkward trainer like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the street is square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the general public is correct, and also in this situation they surely are. Until next week once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday when the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
