Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and that I will deviate from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL discussion to dip our feet and then render our school football selections on the Monday night game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals.
It will probably be the very first and only time this year we do this, as the last week of exhibition NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the greatest clubs in the nation, plus a mythical soccer 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 with a wager on the Steelers while the Titans were backed by me. We have been swapping wins forth and back so it appears like its my turn for the golden wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will accompany all the squares laying the heavy lumber onto a public road favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days prior to this Monday night event, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point about the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is presently offered in a solid -20 round the board at all of the best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but youre currently leaning onto the Cardinals. Apart from the venue do you think Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup Swinger, IMO and a convincing triumph, said a great deal about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Let us move ahead to real football, will our records with this one and where the games count.
Recall Louisville utilized to play against big-name competitions? They more than held their engineered and own upsets. These were enjoyable games and the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
But just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville football last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out win games and to alter the culture and worked miracles. This will not happen right away as the talent level is down from theVille. Yet this is a huge time for Louisville, a group which has the chance to begin taking actions.
Ive read in which the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall as the direct running back. The protection which makes me more worried than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. Please do tell why you have up your Irish.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much since the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest flying into this game. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and he has a group this past year, in which they went winless coming from a dismal 2-10 record. This rebuild is akin to seeking to turn it in an F-22 Raptor and carrying a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is facing a group which made it into the CFP last year and possessed one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per match.
My query is, just how is a quarterback like traveling whos slow to release, supposed to get any traction against a swarming defense that is Irish? Especially when he is working with an offensive strategy that is entirely new and a coach?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to have the ability to keep up and I am desperate for handicapping expertise that is prodigious and the ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to see in your last sentence youre coming on to the glowing side of sport gambling, or you are just being the exact wise a** you are. I will let the SBR readers that are currently making that is decided on by college football picks. Im the first to realize Louisville sucked and was not just 2-10, however 1-11 ATS final season.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons but that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A fresh mindset is brought by A coach on making a statement, and this being a match, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to hope not and the Irish will take them have a lot of fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly with the gold and blue is ATS as a road favorite, and if dishing out 20 or more digits, a mere 7-9-1 ATS. This defense you mentioned may improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, even if you dont/cant amuse like Bama or Clemson, it is going to take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping that was impressive resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville could be better but Id submit that they could be coached by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their document rendered by an coach such as Petrino.
I know that placing nearly three touchdowns on the street would be square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the public is correct, and also in this situation they definitely are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week next week, lets see what happens on Monday once the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
