Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our school football selections on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then that I will deviate from our regularly scheduled program of NFL debate to dip our toes.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this year we do this, as the previous week of exhibition NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season sport of NCAA football featuring one of the top clubs in the nation, and a mythical soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a bet about the Steelers while the Titans were supported by me. We have been swapping wins forth and back so it looks like its my turn to the wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will follow the squares laying the lumber on a public street favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days before the Monday night event, I see that the line has spiked a half-point about the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its presently offered at a solid -20 round the board whatsoever the best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but you are currently leaning within this battle onto the Cardinals. Apart from the place, why is it that you believe Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes a win and IMO, it said a lot about both the Steelers and Titans management. Let us proceed to real soccer, will our recordings on this one and in which the games rely.
Recall those Thursday night matches Louisville used to play against big-name opponents? They held their engineered and own several upsets. These were enjoyable games and the Cardinals were an club.
But like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders and are out win games and to alter the culture. This wont happen immediately as the ability level is down in theVille. However , this is a time for Louisville, a group that has the chance.
Ive read where the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall because the direct running back. The shield that makes me more nervous than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. Why you have your Irish up please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much flying into this game since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest. Scott Satterfield is now in the big leagues and he has a team this past year, where they went winless in ACC action coming from a dismal album. This rebuild is akin to trying to turn it and taking a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is facing a group which made it into the CFP this past year and possessed one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders averaging 33 points per match over.
So, my question is, how will be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to discharge, designed to get any traction against a swarming Irish defense? Particularly when hes working with a completely new offensive strategy and a new coach?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville will be able to keep up and Im desperate to your ancestral wisdom and prodigious handicapping experience!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to read in your last sentence youre coming over to the bright side of sports betting, or you are just being the same wise a** you are. I will let the SBR readers who are currently making this is decided on by college football picks. Im the first to realize Louisville completely sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 final year.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons but that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new trainer brings a fresh attitude on creating a statement and with this being a game, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to trust not and also the Irish will take them 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, when dishing out 20 or more specimens. This defense you said may improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, whenever you dont/cant recruit like Bama or Clemson, it will take some time.
I used to be somewhat facetious because though youve got an handicapping that was impressive resumethat you miss the mark from time to time. And in this case, because Louisville might be better compared to last year but Id submit that they are coached by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their document left by an inept trainer like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that placing nearly three touchdowns on the street would be square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but at times the people is correct, and in this case they are. Until next week once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday once the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
