Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our school football selections on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and I will detract to dip our toes into uncharted waters.
It will almost certainly be the very first and only time this year we do this, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season game of NCAA soccer comprising one of the greatest clubs in the nation, plus a mythical soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a wager about the Steelers while the Titans were endorsed by me. We have been swapping wins on and back so it looks like it is my turn to get the golden wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will follow each of the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a public street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days before this Monday night event, I see that the line has spiked a half-point on the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered in a solid -20 round the board at all the best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but youre leaning in this clash to the Cardinals. Aside from the venue is it that you believe Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup , Swinger, IMO and at least a convincing triumph, it said a great deal about the Steelers and Titans management. Let us move ahead to real soccer, will our records with this one and where the matches rely.
Remember Louisville utilized to perform against competitions? They held their own and engineered many upsets. These were enjoyable games and the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
However, like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles at Appalachian State and are out to change the civilization and win games. This wont happen right away as the talent level is down in theVille. Nonethelessthis is a moment for Louisville, a team which has the opportunity.
I have read in which the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall since the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the shield, well, that makes me more nervous. Why you have up your Irish, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest, flying into this game. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and he has a team coming off of a dismal 2-10 album last year, in which they went winless in ACC activity. This rebuild is comparable to carrying a hot air balloon and seeking to turn it.
While this may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a team which made it into the CFP this past year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders as well, averaging over 33 points per match.
My question is, how will be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to discharge, designed to get any traction against a swarming defense that is Irish? Particularly when he is working with a completely new offensive scheme and a trainer?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep pace and Im desperate for handicapping expertise that is prodigious and the sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to read in your last sentence you are coming around to the bright side of sports gambling, or you are just being the exact same shrewd a** you are. I will let the SBR readers who are making college football picks decide on that. I am the first to realize Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 and completely sucked final season.
However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons. A coach brings a fresh mindset and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on making a statement this being a federal match. Louisville does need to trust they will not be taken by the Irish for granted and not have a lot of fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly using all the gold and blue is ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS, if dishing out 20 or more specimens. This defense you mentioned may improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, whenever you dont/can not recruit like Clemson or even Bama, it will take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping that was impressive restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this event, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville could be better than last year but Id submit that they are coached by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their document left by an equally awkward trainer such as Petrino.
I understand that laying nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but on occasion the people is correct, and in this case they are. Until when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
