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 debate to dip our toes and also render our school football picks on the Monday night match between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this season we do this, as the previous week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season sport of NCAA soccer featuring one of the best clubs in the country, and a mythical football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a wager about the Steelers while I backed the Titans. Weve been swapping wins back and on so it looks like it is my turn to the wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will accompany all the squares laying the heavy lumber onto a public street favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days prior to this Monday night affair, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point on the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is presently offered in a solid -20 round the board whatsoever the very best internet sportsbooks.
I enjoy the Irish but youre leaning onto the Cardinals. Besides the place do you believe Louisville will hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yes a convincing win and IMO, it said a lot about the Steelers and Titans management. Lets proceed to football, in which the matches rely and will our recordings with this one.
Recall Louisville used to perform against big-name opponents? They more than held their engineered and own upsets. These were enjoyable games and also the Cardinals were an 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 a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders in Appalachian State and are out win matches and to change the culture. This will not happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. However , this is a major moment for Louisville, a team which has the chance.
Ive read where the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall because the lead running back. The shield that makes me more nervous than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. You have up your Irish please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much flying in this match as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and he has a team coming off of a dismal album last year where they went winless in ACC activity. This rebuild is akin to taking a hot air balloon and trying to turn it.
While this may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is facing a team which made it into the CFP this past year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders also, averaging 33 points per game over.
So, my question is, just how is a quarterback like traveling whos slow to discharge, designed to get some traction against a swarming Irish defense? Especially when hes working with a new coach and an entirely new offensive scheme?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville will be able to keep pace with this Golden Domers and I am desperate for handicapping expertise that is prodigious and the sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to read in your last sentence youre coming over to the glowing side of sport betting, or you are simply being the exact shrewd a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are making this is decided on by college football picks. I am the first to understand Louisville was, but 1-11 ATS and fully pumped final year.
Like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons, However, that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new attitude is brought by A trainer on making a statement, and this being a game, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to hope they will not be taken by the Irish and never have much fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly using gold and the blue is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and if dishing out 20 or more specimens, a mere 7-9-1 ATS. That defense you said may improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, whenever you dont/can not recruit like Clemson or even Bama, it is going to take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping that was impressive resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, because Louisville might be greater compared to last year but I would submit that they could be trained by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable record left by an awkward coach like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that placing nearly three touchdowns on the road is square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but at times the public is correct, and in this situation they surely are. Until once we get back 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.
