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 that I shall deviate to dip our toes.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this year we do this, as the previous week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season sport of NCAA football comprising one of the best teams in the country, and a legendary soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a wager about the Steelers while I supported the Titans. Weve been swapping wins forth and back so it looks like its my turn for the wreath, as I will follow all the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a public road favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days prior to the Monday night affair, I see that the line has spiked a half-point about the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is presently offered at a solid -20 round the board at all of the best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I love the Irish but you are leaning to the Cardinals. Other than the place, why is it that you think Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes, Swinger, a triumph and IMO, it said a great deal about the management of both the Steelers and Titans. Lets move to real soccer, will our recordings with this one and in which the games count.
Recall Louisville used to play against competitions that are big-name? They held their engineered and own many upsets. These were fun games to watch and also the Cardinals were an club.
However, for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles and will be out to alter the culture and win matches. This will not happen immediately as the talent level is down from theVille. Nonethelessthis is a big moment for Louisville, a team which has the opportunity to begin taking actions.
Ive read where the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall as the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins the protection which makes me more nervous. You have your Irish up please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much flying in this match since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and hes got a team coming from a dismal 2-10 record last year, in which they went winless. This rebuild is akin to trying to turn it in an F-22 Raptor and taking a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is facing a group that made it into the CFP last year and possessed one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders averaging 33 points per match over.
My query is, how can be a quarterback like traveling who is slow to discharge, supposed to gain any traction against a Irish defense? Especially when hes working with a new trainer and an offensive scheme that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to have the ability to keep pace and Im desperate to the ancestral wisdom and handicapping experience!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to read in your last sentence youre coming around to the sunny side of sport gambling, or youre simply being the exact same shrewd a** you usually are. I will let the SBR readers who are making that is decided on by college football selections. I am the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 and fully pumped final year.
Like he composed to the Atlanta Falcons but that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new coach brings a new mindset on making a statement, and with this being a federal game, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to trust they will not be taken by the Irish for granted and never have much fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly with all the gold and blue is ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS if dishing out 20 or more digits. That defense you said may improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, when you dont/cant recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it is going to take time.
I was being a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this case, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville might be greater compared to last year but I would submit that they are trained with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable record left by an trainer like Petrino.
I understand that putting almost 3 touchdowns on the highway is square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the public is correct, and in such case they are. Until next week once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
