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 match between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and that I shall deviate to dip our toes.
It will probably be the first and only time this year we do so, as the last week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the greatest teams in the nation, plus a legendary football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while the Titans were supported by me. We have been swapping wins forth and back so it looks like it is my turn to the wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will accompany all the squares putting the thick lumber onto a public road favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days prior to the Monday night affair, I see the line has spiked a half-point on the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered in a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever of the very best online sportsbooks.
I love the Irish but you are leaning in this battle onto the Cardinals. Besides the venue do you think Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes a triumph and at least IMO, it said a lot about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Lets move ahead to soccer, in which the matches rely and will our recordings with this one.
Recall those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to play against big-name opponents? They more than held their own and engineered upsets. These were enjoyable games to watch and the Cardinals were an golf club.
But just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its counterfeit (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out to change the culture and win matches and worked wonders at Appalachian State. This will not happen immediately as the talent level is down in theVille. However this is a moment for Louisville, a group which has the chance to begin taking actions.
Ive read in which the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall as the direct running back. The defense, well, which makes me more nervous than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. Why you have up your Irish please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest flying into this game. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and hes got a team this past year, in which they went winless coming off of a dismal 2-10 record. This rebuild is comparable to taking a hot air balloon and trying to turn it into an F-22 Raptor.
While this may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is facing a group that made it to the CFP last year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense has been clicking on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per game.
So, my issue is, how can be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to discharge, designed to gain some traction against a defense? Particularly when hes working with an offensive strategy that is entirely new and a coach?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to be able to keep up with the Golden Domers and I am desperate to handicapping expertise and the ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im happy to read in your last sentence youre coming around to the bright side of sport gambling, or you are simply being the same shrewd a** you are. I will allow the SBR readers that are making that is decided on by college football selections. I am the first to realize Louisville fully pumped and wasnt just 2-10, however 1-11 ATS final year.
Just like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons, but that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new mindset is brought by A new trainer and this being a match, Satterfield will sell his staff on creating a statement. Louisville does need to hope they will not be taken by the Irish and not have much fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly using all the blue and gold is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS, when decked out 20 or more specimens. This defense you mentioned might improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, if you dont/can not recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it will take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was a bit facetious because although you have an handicapping that was impressive resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville might be better but Id submit that they could be coached by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable record rendered by an equally awkward coach like Petrino.
I know that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the road would be square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but sometimes the public is right, and also in this situation they are. Until when we get down 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.
