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 and then also that I shall detract to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this season we do this, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season sport of NCAA football comprising one of the top teams in the country, and a legendary football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the debate 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 placing wins back and forth so it appears like its my turn to the wreath, as I will follow all the squares laying the heavy lumber on a street favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days prior to this Monday night affair, I see that the line has spiked a half-point on the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is presently offered at a solid -20 across the board at all of the very best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I enjoy the Irish but you are leaning to the Cardinals in this season-opening battle. Other than the venue is it that you believe Louisville can hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yes IMO and at least a convincing triumph, it said a lot about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Let us proceed to football, will our recordings with this one and where the games count.
Remember those Thursday night matches Louisville used to play against competitions? They held their engineered and own several upsets. These were fun games to see and also the Cardinals were a thrilling club.
But just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its counterfeit (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles at Appalachian State and will be out win games and to alter the culture. This will not happen right away as the talent level is down in theVille. Nonethelessthis is a huge moment for Louisville, a group which has the chance.
Ive read where the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall since the direct running back. The protection, well, which makes me more worried than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. Please do tell youve got your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a team coming from a dismal 2-10 album this past year where they went winless. This rebuild is akin to attempting to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a team that made it into the CFP this past year and owned only 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 met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging 33 points per match over.
So, my issue is, how can be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to release, designed to get any traction against a defense? Especially when hes working with a trainer and a completely new offensive scheme?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville will be able to keep up and Im desperate to handicapping expertise and the ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am glad to read in your last sentence you are coming on to the glowing side of sports gambling, or youre just being the exact same shrewd a** you are. I will allow the SBR readers that are currently making that is decided on by school football selections. I am the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 and completely sucked final season.
Just like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that staff COMPLETELY. A trainer brings a new attitude and this being a game, Satterfield will sell his staff. Louisville does need to trust never and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly with all the blue and gold is ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS, when dishing out 20 or more digits. That defense you mentioned may improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, even if you dont/cant recruit like Bama or Clemson, it is going to take some time.
I was being a bit facetious because although you have an handicapping that was impressive restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this scenario, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville might be better than last year but Id submit that they are trained by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable album made by an equally inept trainer such as Petrino.
I understand that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the street is square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but at times the public is correct, and also in this situation they definitely are. Until when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week next week, let us see what happens on Monday once the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
