Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and that I shall deviate to dip our toes and also leave our college football picks.
It will most likely be the first and only time this season we do so, as the last week of exhibition NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season game of NCAA football featuring one of the greatest clubs in the country, and a mythical soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while the Titans were endorsed by me. Weve been placing wins forth and back so it appears like it is my turn for the golden wreath, as I will follow all the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a road favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days before this Monday night event, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point about the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its presently offered at a solid -20 round the board whatsoever of the very best internet sportsbooks.
I like the Irish but you are currently leaning in this season-opening battle to the Cardinals. Aside from the venue, why is it that you think Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes, Swinger, at least and a triumph IMO, said a great deal about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Let us proceed to football, so will our recordings with this one and in which the games count.
Remember Louisville used to play against competitions? They more than held their own and engineered several upsets. These were enjoyable games to see and also the Cardinals were an exciting club.
However, just including the former Papa Johns Stadium and its phony (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out to change the civilization and win matches and worked wonders. This wont happen right away as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a time for Louisville, a group which has the chance to begin taking steps.
I have read where the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall as the lead running back. The defense, well, that makes me more nervous than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. Why you have your Irish up, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much as the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a team this past year, where they went winless in ACC action coming from a dismal 2-10 album. This rebuild is comparable to carrying a hot air balloon and attempting to turn it.
While this may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is facing a group that made it to the CFP last year and owned only 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 until they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders also, averaging over 33 points per match.
My question is, how can be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to discharge, designed to obtain any traction from a swarming Irish defense? Especially when hes working with a new trainer and an offensive scheme that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to have the ability to keep up and I am desperate to handicapping expertise that is prodigious and the sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to see in your last sentence you are coming around to the sunny side of sports betting, or youre just being the exact same shrewd a** you are. Ill allow the SBR readers that are making college football selections decide on this. Im the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 and fully pumped last season.
But that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons. A fresh attitude is brought by A coach and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on creating a statement, with this being a national game. Louisville does need to trust they will not be taken by the Irish for granted and never have much fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly with gold and all the blue is ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS if dishing out 20 or more specimens. That defense you said may improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, whenever you dont/can not amuse like Bama or Clemson, it is going to take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because though you have an impressive handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this scenario, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville might be greater but Id submit that they could be trained with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their record rendered by an inept coach like Petrino.
I understand that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the street would be square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but on occasion the public is correct, and also in this situation they definitely are. Until next week once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday once the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
