Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our college football picks on the Monday night game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then also that I shall deviate to dip our toes.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this season we do this, as the previous week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season game of NCAA football comprising one of the greatest teams in the nation, plus a mythical football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a wager on the Steelers while I supported the Titans. Weve been placing wins back and forth so it looks like its my turn for the golden wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will accompany all the squares putting the thick lumber on a road favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days before this Monday night event, I see that the line has spiked a half-point about the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered in a solid -20 throughout the board at all the very best internet sportsbooks.
I love the Irish but you are currently leaning onto the Cardinals. Aside from the place is it that you believe Louisville can hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup , Swinger, a triumph and at least IMO, said a great deal about the management of both the Steelers and Titans. Lets move to soccer, will our records on this one and where the games count.
Remember all those Thursday night matches Louisville used to perform against big-name opponents? They held their engineered and own many upsets. These were enjoyable games to see and the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
However, for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville football last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out win matches and to change the civilization and worked miracles. This will not happen right away as the talent level is down from theVille. This is a major time for Louisville, a group that has the chance to start taking actions in the ideal direction.
Ive read where the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall since the direct running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the shield, well, which makes me more nervous. Please do tell why you have your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing flying into this game as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a group this past year, where they went winless in ACC activity coming from a dismal 2-10 record. This rebuild is akin to trying to turn it and taking a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a team which made it to the CFP last year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders as well, averaging 33 points per game over.
So, my query is, just how can be a quarterback like traveling who is slow to release, supposed to obtain some traction against a swarming shield? Particularly when he is working with an offensive scheme that is entirely new and a coach?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to have the ability to keep up with this Golden Domers and I am desperate to your brand new wisdom and handicapping expertise that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to see in your last sentence youre coming over to the sunny side of sport gambling, or youre just being the identical wise a** you are. Ill let the SBR readers that are making college football picks decide on this. Im the first to understand Louisville sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 final season.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons, However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new mindset is brought by A trainer and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on building a statement this being a match. Louisville does need to trust never and the Irish will take them have a lot of fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly with all the blue and gold is ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS if dishing out more or 20 specimens. This defense you mentioned may improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, even when you dont/can not recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it will take some time.
I was becoming a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this event, because Louisville might be greater but Id submit that they could be trained with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their record rendered by an awkward trainer such as Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that placing nearly three touchdowns on the road would be square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the general public is correct, and in this situation they are. Until once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week next week, let us see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
