Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our school football picks and then also I will deviate to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will probably be the first and only time this year we do this, as the previous week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season sport of NCAA soccer featuring one of the greatest teams in the nation, plus a legendary football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a bet about the Steelers while the Titans were backed by me. Weve been swapping wins forth and back so it appears like it is my turn to the wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will accompany the squares laying the heavy lumber on a road favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days before this Monday night affair, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point on the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its presently offered in a solid -20 throughout the board at all the very best online sportsbooks.
I enjoy the Irish but youre currently leaning onto the Cardinals in this season-opening clash. Besides the place, why do you believe Louisville will hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup a triumph and at least IMO, it said a lot about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Lets proceed to real soccer, so will our records on this one and in which the matches rely.
Remember those Thursday night games Louisville utilized to play against competitions? They held their own and engineered many upsets. These were enjoyable games and the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
However, like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders and will be out win matches and to alter the civilization. This wont happen immediately as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a major moment for Louisville, a team that has the chance.
Ive read in which the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good 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 23, the defense , well, which makes me more nervous. Why you have up your Irish please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much as the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest flying into this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a team coming from a dismal album last year where they went winless in ACC activity. This rebuild is comparable to carrying a hot air balloon and attempting to turn it in an F-22 Raptor.
While that may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is facing a team which made it into 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 going a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging 33 points per match over.
My issue is, just how is a quarterback like Pass whos slow to release, supposed to get any traction against a swarming shield that is Irish? Particularly when he is working with a new coach and an offensive strategy that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to have the ability to keep up and I am desperate to handicapping expertise and the sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to see in your last sentence youre coming around to the bright side of sport betting, or you are just being the same wise a** you are. I will let the SBR readers who are currently making college football selections decide on that. I am the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 and fully pumped last year.
Like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A coach brings a new attitude on creating a statement and with this being a national match, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to hope not and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have much fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with the blue and gold is only 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS if dishing out 20 or more digits. That defense you mentioned may improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, if you dont/cant recruit like Bama or Clemson, it is going to take some time.
I was a bit facetious because although you have an impressive handicapping resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, because Louisville could be better compared to last year but I would submit that they could be trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable record rendered by an coach such as Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying 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 sometimes the people is correct, and in this situation they certainly are. Until once we get down 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.
