Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and I shall detract from our regularly scheduled program of NFL discussion to dip our feet into uncharted waters and then render our college football selections on the Monday night game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals.
It will probably be the first and only time this year we do so, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season sport of NCAA soccer featuring one of the top clubs in the country, and a legendary soccer 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 while the Titans were supported by me. We have been swapping wins on and back so it looks like its my turn to get the wreath, as I will accompany the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a street favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days before the Monday night event, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point on the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its now offered in a solid -20 across the board whatsoever of the very best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I enjoy the Irish but you are currently leaning within this clash on the Cardinals. Apart from the venue is it that you think Louisville could hang with the boys in South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yes at least and a successful triumph IMO, said a great deal about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Lets move to real soccer, so will our records with this one and where the matches count.
Recall Louisville used to perform against big-name competitions? They more than held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games and also the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
But just like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its phony (in real life) owner, Louisville football last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out win games and to change the civilization and worked wonders. This will not happen immediately as the talent level is down from theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a team which has the opportunity to start taking steps.
I have read where the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall as the direct running back. The shield that makes me more worried than with a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. You have your Irish up, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest, flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a group coming off of a dismal record this past year where they went winless in ACC activity. This rebuild is comparable to seeking to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and taking a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it into the CFP last year and possessed only 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 till they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders as well, averaging over 33 points per game.
My query is, how is a quarterback like Pass who is slow to discharge, designed to gain some traction against a swarming defense? Especially when he is working with an offensive strategy that is entirely new and a trainer?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville will have the ability to keep up with the Golden Domers and Im desperate for your ancestral wisdom and prodigious handicapping expertise!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to see in your last sentence you are coming on to the glowing side of sports gambling, or you are simply being the exact wise a** you are. I will allow the SBR readers that are making this is decided on by college football picks. Im the first to realize Louisville wasnt only 2-10, however 1-11 ATS and fully pumped final year.
However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons. A new coach brings a new attitude and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on building a statement, with this being a national game. Louisville does need to hope not and the Irish will take them have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with gold and the blue is ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS, when dishing out more or 20 specimens. That defense you said might improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, even whenever you dont/can not amuse like Bama or even Clemson, it is going to take time.
I was being a bit facetious because though youve got an impressive handicapping restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this case, because Louisville might be greater but Id submit that they could be trained with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable record rendered by an inept trainer like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but sometimes the public is correct, and also in this situation they certainly are. Until next week once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday when the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
