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 game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and then also I shall detract to dip our toes.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this season we do this, as the last week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the top clubs in the nation, plus a mythical soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while the Titans were endorsed by me. We have been placing wins back and forth so it looks like its my turn to get the golden wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will accompany all the squares laying the heavy lumber on a road favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days prior to the Monday night affair, I see the line has spiked a half-point on the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is presently offered in a solid -20 across the board whatsoever of the best online sportsbooks.
I like the Irish but you are currently leaning on the Cardinals. Other than the venue do you believe Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup , Swinger, and a convincing triumph IMO, it said a lot about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Let us move to soccer, in which the matches rely and will our recordings with this one.
Remember Louisville utilized to perform against big-name competitions? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were enjoyable games and the Cardinals were an exciting club.
However, for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out win games and to change the culture and worked miracles. This wont happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. Yet this is a moment for Louisville, a team that has the chance.
Ive read in which the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall since the lead running back. The defense which makes me more worried than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. Please do tell why you have up your Irish.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing flying in this match as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and hes got a team coming from a dismal album this past year where they went winless in ACC action. This rebuild is comparable to carrying a hot air balloon and seeking to turn it into an F-22 Raptor.
While that may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a team that made it to the CFP this past year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per match.
My question is, how is a quarterback like Pass whos slow to release, supposed to obtain some traction against a shield that is Irish? Particularly when hes working with a coach and a completely new offensive strategy?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to have the ability to keep up and Im desperate to the sage wisdom and handicapping experience that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to see in your last sentence you are coming on to the bright side of sport gambling, or youre simply being the same wise a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are currently making this is decided on by college football selections. I am the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 and completely sucked final season.
Just like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons, but that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new attitude is brought by A new coach and his team will be sold by Satterfield on creating a statement, with this being a national match. Louisville does have to trust never and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with gold and all the blue is ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS, if dishing out more or 20 digits. This defense you mentioned may improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, even when you dont/cant amuse like Bama or even Clemson, it is going to take some time.
I was a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this scenario, because Louisville could be greater compared to last year but I would submit that they are coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable document left by an inept coach like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the road is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but at times the general public is right, and also in this situation they certainly are. Until next week when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
