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 game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and I shall detract to dip our toes into uncharted waters.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this year we do this, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the very best clubs in the country, plus a mythical football 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 while the Titans were backed by me. We have been placing wins back and forth so it appears like its my turn for the wreath, as I will accompany all the squares laying the heavy lumber onto a public road favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days before the Monday night event, I see the line has spiked a half-point on the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its presently offered at a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever of the very best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I love the Irish but you are leaning onto the Cardinals. Aside from the place is it that you believe Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup Swinger, IMO and a convincing win, said a lot about the Steelers and Titans management. Lets proceed to real football, will our recordings on this one and in which the games count.
Recall those Thursday night matches Louisville used to play against opponents that are big-name? They more than held their own and engineered upsets. These were fun games to see and also the Cardinals were an golf club.
But such as the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its phony (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out to change the culture and win matches and worked miracles at Appalachian State. This wont happen immediately as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a group which has the opportunity to begin taking actions in the ideal direction.
Ive read in which 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 using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the defense, well, that makes me more nervous. Why you have up your Irish, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest flying into this match. Scott Satterfield is now in the big leagues and he has a group this past year, in which they went winless in ACC activity coming off of a dismal 2-10 record. This rebuild is comparable to attempting to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is facing a team that made it to the CFP this past year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per match.
My query is, just how will be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to release, supposed to gain some traction against a shield that is Irish? Particularly when he is working with a coach and a completely new offensive strategy?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep up and I am desperate to your brand new wisdom and handicapping expertise that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am glad to see in your last sentence you are coming over to the glowing side of sport gambling, or you are simply being the exact same wise a** you usually are. Ill let the SBR readers that are currently making college football picks decide on that. Im the first to understand Louisville was, however 1-11 ATS and fully pumped final year.
However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons. A new trainer brings a new mindset on making a statement, and this being a game, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to hope not and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with the blue and gold is ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS, when decked out more or 20 specimens. This defense you said might improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, even whenever you dont/can not recruit like Clemson or Bama, it will take some time.
I was becoming a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping that was impressive resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this instance, because Louisville may be better compared to last year but I would submit that they could be trained by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their document left by an coach like 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 street chalk, but sometimes the public is correct, and in this instance they definitely are. Until when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, let us see what happens on Monday when the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
