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 that I shall deviate from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL discussion to dip our toes into uncharted waters.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this season we do so, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season sport of NCAA soccer featuring one of the very best teams in the country, and a mythical soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while I backed the Titans. Weve been placing wins back and on so it looks like its my turn to get the wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will follow all the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days before the Monday night affair, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point about the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered in a solid -20 round the board whatsoever of the very best internet sportsbooks.
I like the Irish but you are leaning onto the Cardinals. Aside from the place do you believe Louisville will hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: YesSwinger, a triumph and IMO, said a great deal about the direction of both the Steelers and Titans. Let us move ahead to soccer, in which the matches rely and will our recordings on this one.
Recall those Thursday night matches Louisville used to perform against competitions that are big-name? They held their engineered and own several upsets. These were enjoyable games and also the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
But just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out to change the culture and win games and worked miracles. This will not happen immediately as the talent level is down in theVille. Yet , this is a big time for Louisville, a team which has the chance to start taking actions in the right direction.
I have read where the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall because the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins the defense which makes me more worried. Why you have your Irish up, please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest, flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and he has a group coming from a dismal 2-10 album last year, in which they went winless. This rebuild is akin to carrying a hot air balloon and attempting to turn it.
While this may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is facing a group 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 within the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders also, averaging 33 points per game over.
So, my query is, just how is a quarterback like traveling who is slow to discharge, supposed to get any traction against a swarming Irish shield? Especially when he is working with an entirely new offensive strategy and a new coach?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to have the ability to keep pace with this Golden Domers and Im desperate to handicapping experience that is prodigious and your sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to read in your last sentence youre coming around to the bright side of sport betting, or you are simply being the same wise a** you usually are. Ill let the SBR readers that are making that is decided on by school football picks. Im the first to realize Louisville wasnt just 2-10, however 1-11 ATS and completely sucked final season.
Just like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons but that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A trainer brings a fresh attitude and this being a federal game, Satterfield will sell his staff on building a statement. Louisville does have to hope they will not be taken by the Irish for granted and not have much fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly with all the gold and blue is ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS, if dishing out more or 20 digits. That defense you said may improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, when you dont/cant amuse like Clemson or Bama, it will take some time.
I was being a bit facetious because although youve got an impressive handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, because Louisville might be better but I would submit that they are trained with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their document rendered by an trainer such as Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that laying nearly three touchdowns on the street would be square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but at times the people is right, and also in this case they certainly are. Until when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week next week, lets see what happens on Monday once the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
