Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our college football selections on the Monday night game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and then I will deviate from our regularly scheduled program of NFL debate to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will probably be the very first and only time this year we do so, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season sport of NCAA football comprising one of the greatest teams in the country, plus a mythical football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a wager on the Steelers while the Titans were backed by me. We have been placing wins forth and back so it appears like it is my turn for the wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will accompany the squares laying the lumber on a road favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days before the Monday night affair, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point on the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered at a solid -20 throughout the board at all the very best online sportsbooks.
You are currently leaning on the Cardinals although I love the Irish. Apart from the venue is it that you believe Louisville will hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup , Swinger, IMO and at least a successful win, it said a lot about the Steelers and Titans direction. Lets move ahead to real soccer, so will our recordings with this one and where the games rely.
Remember Louisville used to play against competitions that are big-name? They held their own and engineered many upsets. These were fun games and the Cardinals were an golf club.
But for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles and will be out to alter the culture and win games. This will not happen immediately as the talent level is down from theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a team that has the chance.
Ive read where the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall as the direct running back. The shield, well, which makes me more worried than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. Please do tell why youve got up your Irish.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much flying into this game as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy inside their nest. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and he has a team last year, where they went winless coming from a dismal album. This rebuild is akin to attempting to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and taking a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it to the CFP last year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders also, averaging 33 points per match over.
My question is, how can be a cop such as Pass who is slow to discharge, likely to get any traction against a swarming shield? Especially when he is working with an offensive strategy and a new 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 to the sage wisdom and handicapping expertise!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to read in your last sentence youre coming over to the bright side of sports betting, or you are simply being the same wise a** you are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are currently making this is decided on by college football picks. I am the first to realize Louisville fully pumped and was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 final year.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons but that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A coach brings a new mindset on creating a statement and with this being a national game, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to hope never and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have much fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly using gold and the blue is ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS, if dishing out more or 20 digits. That defense you mentioned may improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, if you dont/can not recruit like Clemson or Bama, it will take some time.
I was becoming a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this event, because Louisville might be greater compared to last year but Id submit that they could be trained by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their record rendered by an awkward coach such as Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that placing nearly three touchdowns on the road is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the public is right, and also in this instance they certainly are. Until once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week next week, lets see what happens on Monday once the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
