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 selections on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and that I shall deviate to dip our toes into uncharted waters.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this season we do so, as the last week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season game of NCAA soccer comprising one of the very best clubs in the nation, plus a legendary football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a wager on the Steelers while I supported the Titans. Weve been placing wins on and back so it appears like it is my turn for the wreath, as I will follow the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a public road favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days before the Monday night event, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point on the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is presently offered at a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever the very best online sportsbooks.
I love the Irish but you are leaning in this clash on the Cardinals. Other than the place, why is it that you think Louisville could hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yes and a convincing triumph IMO, it said a lot about the Steelers and Titans direction. Let us proceed to real football, so will our records with this one and in which the games rely.
Recall those Thursday night games Louisville used to play against competitions that are big-name? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were enjoyable games to see and also the Cardinals were an club.
But just like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville football last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out to change the civilization and win games and worked miracles. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a time for Louisville, a team which has the opportunity.
I have read where the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall since the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the shield that makes me more nervous. Why you have your Irish up, please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much flying in this game as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a team last year, in which they went winless in ACC activity coming off of a dismal record. This rebuild is comparable to seeking to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it to the CFP last year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per game.
So, my question is, how can be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to release, designed to obtain some traction against a defense? Especially when hes working with a completely new offensive scheme and a new coach?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep up with the Golden Domers and Im desperate for prodigious handicapping expertise and your sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to read in your last sentence youre coming over to the bright side of sports gambling, or youre simply being the same wise a** you usually are. I will allow the SBR readers who are currently making that is decided on by college football picks. I am the first to understand Louisville was, however, 1-11 ATS and completely sucked final year.
Just like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons, However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A coach brings a new attitude on building a statement, and with this being a game, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to hope not and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly using all the blue and gold is ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS, when dishing out more or 20 specimens. That defense you mentioned might improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, even whenever you dont/cant amuse like Bama or Clemson, it will take time.
I was being a bit facetious because although youve got an impressive handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this instance, because Louisville could be better than last year but I would submit that they could be coached with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable document rendered by an trainer such as Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that placing 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 at times the public is right, and in this 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 once the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
