Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our college football picks and I will detract from our regularly scheduled program of NFL discussion to dip our toes into uncharted waters.
It will most likely be the first and only time this season we do so, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season game of NCAA soccer comprising one of the top teams in the nation, plus a mythical soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while the Titans were endorsed by me. We have been placing wins back and on so it appears like it is my turn for the wreath, as I will follow the squares laying the lumber onto a street favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days before the Monday night event, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point about the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is presently offered at a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever of the very best online sportsbooks.
Youre currently leaning on the Cardinals although doug, I enjoy the Irish. Besides the venue, why is it that you think Louisville will hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup and a win IMO, it said a great deal about the management of both the Steelers and Titans. Lets proceed to real soccer, in which the games count and will our recordings with this one.
Recall those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to play against competitions that are big-name? They held their own and engineered several upsets. These were fun games to watch and also the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
But for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out win matches and to alter the culture and worked miracles. This wont happen right away as the talent level is down from theVille. Yet , this is a time for Louisville, a team that has the chance to begin taking actions in the right direction.
I have read where the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall as the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the defense which makes me more worried. Why you have your Irish up please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest, flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and hes got a group coming from a dismal album this past year in which they went winless in ACC activity. This rebuild is comparable to attempting to turn it in an F-22 Raptor and taking a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a team that 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 over the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per match.
So, my issue is, just how can be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to release, supposed to obtain some traction against a swarming Irish shield? Particularly when he is working with a new trainer and an offensive strategy that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville will be able to keep up and I am desperate to your ancestral wisdom and handicapping expertise!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to see in your last sentence you are coming around to the glowing side of sports gambling, or youre simply being the exact same wise a** you usually are. I will let the SBR readers who are currently making that is decided on by school football picks. Im the first to understand Louisville was not just 2-10, but 1-11 ATS and sucked final year.
Like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A coach brings a new mindset on making a statement, and with 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 much fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly using the gold and blue is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS, when dishing out more or 20 digits. This defense you said might improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, whenever you dont/can not recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it will take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was a bit facetious because though youve got an impressive handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this event, because Louisville might be better than last year but I would submit that they could be coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable record left by an trainer such as Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that placing nearly three touchdowns on the road is square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but at times the people is correct, and in this case they certainly are. Until next week once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
