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 game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then that I will detract from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL debate to dip our toes into uncharted waters.
It will most likely be the first and only time this year we do so, as the previous week of exhibition NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season game of NCAA soccer featuring one of the top teams in the country, plus a legendary football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while I backed the Titans. Weve been swapping wins back and forth so it appears like its my turn for the wreath, as I will follow the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a street favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days ahead of the Monday night affair, I see the line has spiked a half-point on the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered at a solid -20 round the board whatsoever the very best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but youre leaning within this battle on the Cardinals. Besides the venue, why do you think Louisville can hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup , Swinger, and a successful triumph IMO, it said a lot about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Lets move to real soccer, so will our records with this one and in which the games rely.
Remember Louisville utilized to perform against big-name competitions? They held their own and engineered several upsets. These were enjoyable games to see and also the Cardinals were a thrilling club.
But for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville football last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out to change the civilization and win matches and worked wonders. This will not happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity.
I have read where the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall since the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins the defense, well, which makes me more nervous. Why you have your Irish up please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest, flying in this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a team last year, in which they went winless coming from a dismal 2-10 record. This rebuild is comparable to attempting to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it into the CFP last year and possessed one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense has been clicking on all cylinders as well, averaging over 33 points per game.
My issue is, how can be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to release, designed to obtain any traction against a swarming Irish shield? Particularly when hes working with an offensive scheme that is entirely new and a trainer?
Please, Doug, save me Im 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 to the sage wisdom and handicapping expertise!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to see in your last sentence you are coming on to the sunny side of sport betting, or you are just being the exact same shrewd a** you are. I will let the SBR readers that are currently making this is decided on by college football selections. Im the first to understand Louisville sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 last season.
Just like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons, However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new coach brings a fresh attitude and with this being a match, Satterfield will sell his staff on creating a statement. Louisville does have to hope the Irish will take them for granted and never have much fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly with gold and the blue is ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS, if dishing out more or 20 specimens. This defense you mentioned might improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, even when you dont/can not recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it will take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping that was impressive restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this scenario, because Louisville could be better but I would submit that they could be coached by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their record left by an trainer such as Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the street would be square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but sometimes the general public is correct, and also in this case they really are. Until when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week next week, let us see what happens on Monday when the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
