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 match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and also I shall detract from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL debate to dip our toes.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this season we do this, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the greatest teams in the country, and a mythical football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a bet on the Steelers while the Titans were supported by me. We have been placing wins back and forth so it looks like its my turn for the wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will follow all the squares putting the thick lumber onto a public road favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days before the Monday night affair, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point about the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its now offered at a solid -20 across the board at all of the very best internet sportsbooks.
I like the Irish but you are currently leaning within this season-opening clash to the Cardinals. Apart from the place, why do you believe Louisville will hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yes, Swinger, a triumph and IMO, it said a lot about the Steelers and Titans management. Lets move ahead to soccer, where the matches rely and so will our records on this one.
Remember all those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to perform against big-name competitions? They held their own and engineered many upsets. These were fun games to see and also the Cardinals were an exciting club.
However, just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles and are out to change the culture and win matches. This will not happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a big moment for Louisville, a team that has the chance.
I have read in which the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall because the direct running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins the protection, well, that makes me more nervous. Please do tell youve got up your Irish.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much since the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest flying in this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a team coming from a dismal album in which they went winless in ACC action this past year. This rebuild is akin to seeking to turn it in an F-22 Raptor and taking a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a team which made it to the CFP last year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders as well, averaging over 33 points per game.
So, my query is, how will be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to discharge, designed to gain some traction against a defense that is Irish? Particularly when hes working with a new trainer and an offensive strategy that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep up and Im desperate to handicapping experience that is prodigious and the ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am glad to read in your last sentence youre coming over to the glowing side of sport betting, or you are just being the identical wise a** you usually are. I will allow the SBR readers who are currently making college football selections decide on that. Im the first to understand Louisville fully pumped and was, but 1-11 ATS last season.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that team COMPLETELY. A new trainer brings a new attitude on making a statement, and this being a federal match, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to hope they will not be taken by the Irish for granted and never have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with gold and all the blue is ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS, if dishing out more or 20 specimens. This defense you said might improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, even whenever you dont/cant amuse like Clemson or Bama, it is going to take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because although youve got an impressive handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this instance, because Louisville could be greater compared to last year but Id submit that they are trained with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their document rendered by an trainer like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that placing nearly three touchdowns on the road would be 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 also in this situation they certainly are. Until once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week next week, lets see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
