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 picks on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then also I shall detract from our regularly scheduled program of NFL debate to dip our toes.
It will probably be the first and only time this season we do this, as the previous week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season game of NCAA soccer featuring one of the top clubs in the nation, plus a legendary football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while the Titans were endorsed by me. We have been placing wins back and on so it looks like its my turn to get the wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will accompany the squares laying the heavy lumber on a public street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days prior to the Monday night event, I see that the line has spiked a half-point about the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered at a solid -20 throughout the board at all of the very best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I enjoy the Irish but you are currently leaning in this battle on the Cardinals. Other than the place do you think Louisville will hang with the boys in South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yes, Swinger, IMO and a successful win, said a great deal about both the Steelers and Titans direction. Lets move to real soccer, will our recordings with this one and where the games count.
Remember those Thursday night matches Louisville used to perform against opponents? They more than held their engineered and own several upsets. These were enjoyable games and the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
But for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles and are out to alter the culture and win games. This will not happen immediately as the talent level is down in theVille. Nonethelessthis is a huge time for Louisville, a team that has the chance.
I have read where the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall because the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the shield, well, that makes me more worried. Please do tell youve got your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest, flying into this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a team this past year, where they went winless coming off of a dismal album. This rebuild is akin to taking a hot air balloon and seeking to turn it.
While this may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is facing a group that made it to the CFP this past year and possessed one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders as well, averaging over 33 points per match.
My issue is, how can be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to release, supposed to gain any traction against a shield? Especially when hes working with an offensive strategy that is entirely new and a coach?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to be able to keep up with the Golden Domers and Im desperate for the ancestral wisdom and prodigious handicapping experience!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im happy to see in your last sentence you are coming around to the glowing side of sport betting, or youre simply being the exact shrewd a** you usually are. I will let the SBR readers that are currently making college football selections decide on this. Im the first to understand Louisville completely sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 last season.
However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, just like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons. A new trainer brings a new attitude and with this being a national game, Satterfield will market his team. Louisville does need to hope never and the Irish will take them have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly using gold and the blue is ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS, when dishing out 20 or more digits. This defense you mentioned may improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, when you dont/can not recruit like Bama or Clemson, it is going to take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville might be greater but I would submit that they are trained with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable record left by an awkward coach like Petrino.
I know that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the road would be square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but sometimes the general public is correct, and in this instance they certainly are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week next week, lets see what happens on Monday when the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
