Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson:  This week Doug Upstone and render our college football picks on the Monday night game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then I will detract from our regularly scheduled program of NFL discussion to dip our feet.
It will probably be the first and only time this year we do so, as the last week of exhibition NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the very best teams in the country, plus a legendary soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while the Titans were supported by me.  Weve been swapping wins back and forth so it appears like its my turn to the golden wreath, as I will follow the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a public road favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the  college football odds  almost six days prior to the Monday night event, I see that the line has spiked a half-point about the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered at a solid -20 round the board whatsoever of the best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I love the Irish but youre leaning onto the Cardinals in this season-opening clash.  Apart from the venue is it that you think Louisville can hang with the boys in South Bend?
Doug Upstone:  Yes, Swinger, and a win IMO,  said a lot about the Steelers and Titans direction.  Lets move ahead to real football, where the games count and so will our recordings with this one.
Remember those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to play against competitions?  They held their own and engineered many upsets.  These were fun games to watch and the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
However, such as the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its counterfeit (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders and are out to alter the civilization and win games.  This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille.  This is a huge moment for Louisville, a group that has the chance.
Ive read in which the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall because the direct running back.  Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins the protection, well, which makes me more nervous.  You have your Irish up, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson:  The Cardinals will not be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest, flying into this game.  Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and hes got a group coming off of a dismal record in which they went winless in ACC activity last year.  This rebuild is akin to trying to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a team which made it into the CFP last year and owned 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 from the CFP semifinals.  The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per game.
My query is, how is a quarterback like traveling who is slow to discharge, supposed to gain some traction against a shield?  Especially when hes working with an offensive scheme and a brand new trainer?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost!  I see no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to be able to keep up and Im desperate to handicapping experience that is prodigious and your brand new wisdom!
Doug Upstone:  Well, Swinger, Im glad to see in your last sentence you are coming on to the sunny side of sport gambling, or you are just being the exact shrewd a** you are.  Ill let the SBR readers who are currently making this is decided on by school football selections.  I am the first to understand Louisville wasnt only 2-10, however, 1-11 ATS and sucked last year.
Just like he gave up to the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that team COMPLETELY.  A new trainer brings a fresh mindset on building a statement, and this being a game, his team will be sold by Satterfield.  Louisville does need to hope the Irish will take them for granted and not have a lot of fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly using the gold and blue is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS, if dishing out 20 or more specimens.  This defense you mentioned might improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, when you dont/can not amuse like Clemson or even Bama, it will take time.
Swinging Johnson:  Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping resume, 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 could be coached with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable record rendered by an trainer such as Petrino.
I know that laying nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but on occasion the people is correct, and in such situation they certainly are.  Until next week once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
