Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our school football picks and then also I will detract to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will almost certainly be the very first and only time this season we do so, as the last week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season sport 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 friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a bet about the Steelers while the Titans were endorsed by me. Weve been placing wins forth and back so it looks like it is my turn to the golden wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will accompany the squares putting the thick lumber onto a public street favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days prior to this Monday night affair, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point on the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered at a solid -20 across the board at all the best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but you are leaning to the Cardinals. Other than the venue is it that you believe Louisville could hang with the boys in South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup and a convincing win IMO, it said a lot about the Steelers and Titans direction. Lets proceed to real soccer, so will our recordings with this one and where the matches rely.
Recall Louisville utilized to perform against big-name opponents? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games and also the Cardinals were an club.
However, like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders at Appalachian State and will be out win matches and to alter the culture. This wont happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. However this is a moment for Louisville, a group which has the chance.
Ive read where the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall because the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the defense which makes me more nervous. You have your Irish up, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest flying into this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a team coming from a dismal album last year in which they went winless. This rebuild is comparable to seeking to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and carrying a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it to the CFP this past year and possessed one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the normal 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 match.
My query is, how is a quarterback like traveling whos slow to release, supposed to obtain some traction against a swarming defense that is Irish? Particularly when hes working with an offensive scheme that is entirely new and a coach?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville will be able to keep up with this Golden Domers and I am desperate for the sage wisdom and handicapping experience that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am glad to read in your last sentence youre coming on to the glowing side of sport gambling, or you are simply being the same shrewd a** you are. I will let the SBR readers that are making school football selections decide on this. I am the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 and sucked last season.
However, that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons. A new coach brings a new attitude on creating a statement, and this being a game, his staff 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 think about, Brian Kelly with gold and the blue is only 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS when dishing out 20 or more digits. This defense you said might improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, when you dont/cant recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it is going to take time.
I was a bit facetious because although youve got an impressive handicapping restart, 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 Id submit that they are trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their record left by an awkward trainer such as Petrino.
I know that placing nearly three touchdowns on the street would be square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but sometimes the people is correct, and in this case they surely are. Until next week once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday when the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
