Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our school football selections and also I will deviate to dip our feet.
It will almost certainly be the very first and only time this season we do so, as the previous week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the best clubs in the nation, and a mythical football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while the Titans were backed by me. Weve been placing wins back and forth so it looks like its my turn to get the wreath, as I will follow each of the squares putting the thick lumber on a public road favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days ahead of the Monday night affair, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point on the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is presently offered at a solid -20 across the board at all the best internet sportsbooks.
I enjoy the Irish but you are currently leaning in this season-opening battle on the Cardinals. Other than the place, why do you think Louisville can hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup Swinger, a successful win and IMO, it said a great deal about both the Steelers and Titans direction. Lets move ahead to football, where the matches count and will our recordings with this one.
Remember those Thursday night games Louisville utilized to play against opponents that are big-name? They more than held their engineered and own upsets. These were enjoyable games and also the Cardinals were an exciting club.
But like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out to alter the culture and win games and worked wonders. This wont happen immediately as the talent level is down in theVille. Nonethelessthis is a significant moment for Louisville, a group that has the chance.
Ive read where the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall because the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins the defense, well, that makes me more worried. Please do tell why you have your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a group coming from a dismal 2-10 album where they went winless this past year. This rebuild is comparable to trying to turn it in an F-22 Raptor and taking a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a group that made it to the CFP this past 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 till they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per game.
My query is, just how is a quarterback like Pass whos slow to release, designed to get any traction against a swarming defense that is Irish? Especially when hes working with an offensive scheme that is entirely new and a new trainer?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to have the ability to keep pace with this Golden Domers and Im desperate for handicapping expertise that is prodigious and your brand new wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im happy to see in your last sentence you are coming around to the bright side of sports gambling, or youre just being the exact wise a** you usually are. I will let the SBR readers who are making this is decided on by college football picks. I am the first to understand Louisville fully pumped and was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 final year.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons, However, that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new coach brings a fresh attitude on building a statement and with this being a match, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to trust they will not be taken by the Irish for granted and not have a lot of fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly using gold and all the blue is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS, if dishing out more or 20 digits. This defense you said might improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, even if you dont/can not recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it will take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this scenario, because Louisville could be greater compared to last year but I would submit that they could be trained with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable document left by an equally inept coach such as Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the road would be square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but on occasion the general public is correct, and also in this situation they surely are. Until when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week next week, lets see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
