Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our school football selections on the Monday night game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then I shall detract to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will probably be the very first and only time this season we do so, as the previous week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season game of NCAA football comprising one of the best teams in the country, and a legendary soccer program to boot up, 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 placing wins back and on so it appears like it is my turn to get the golden wreath, as I will accompany each of the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a public street favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
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 preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered in a solid -20 throughout the board at all the best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I enjoy the Irish but youre currently leaning in this season-opening clash on the Cardinals. Other than the venue do you believe Louisville can hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup IMO and a successful win, it said a great deal about both the Steelers and Titans direction. Let us move to real soccer, will our recordings on this one and where the matches count.
Remember those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to perform against competitions that are big-name? They held their engineered and own several upsets. These were fun games and the Cardinals were an club.
But just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles in Appalachian State and will be out win matches and to alter the civilization. This wont happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. Yet , this is a significant time for Louisville, a group which has the chance to start taking actions in the ideal direction.
Ive read in which the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall as the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the protection that makes me more worried. Why you have up your Irish please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest flying into this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a group coming off of a dismal record this past year, in which they went winless in ACC action. This rebuild is comparable to seeking to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and carrying a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is facing a team which made it into the CFP this past year and possessed only 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 met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders as well, averaging 33 points per match over.
My question is, just how is a quarterback like traveling whos slow to release, designed to obtain some traction against a swarming shield that is Irish? Particularly when hes working with a new trainer and an offensive strategy that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville will be able to keep up with the Golden Domers and I am desperate for handicapping expertise that is prodigious and your sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to see in your last sentence youre coming on to the bright side of sport gambling, or you are just being the same shrewd a** you are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are making college football picks decide on that. I am the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 and sucked last year.
Like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that team COMPLETELY. A new trainer brings a fresh attitude on creating a statement and this being a game, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to hope never and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly using gold and the blue is ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS when dishing out 20 or more specimens. That defense you said might improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, whenever you dont/can not amuse like Clemson or even Bama, it is going to take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this case, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville could be greater but Id submit that they could be trained with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable record rendered by an awkward coach such as Petrino.
I understand that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the street would be square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but at times the public is correct, and also in this case they are. Until once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week next week, lets see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
