Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and I will deviate to dip our toes and leave our school football selections on the Monday night game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals.
It will probably be the first and only time this season we do so, as the previous week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season sport of NCAA football comprising one of the very best teams in the nation, and a legendary football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a wager on the Steelers while the Titans were endorsed by me. Weve been swapping wins on and back so it appears like its my turn to the wreath, as I will follow the squares putting the thick lumber on a public street favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days ahead of this Monday night event, I see the line has spiked a half-point about the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its now offered at a solid -20 round the board whatsoever the very best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I enjoy the Irish but youre leaning onto the Cardinals. Apart from the place do you think Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes IMO and at least a successful triumph, said a great deal about the Steelers and Titans direction. Let us move to football, will our records on this one and where the games count.
Recall all those Thursday night games Louisville used to play against big-name competitions? They held their engineered and own several upsets. These were enjoyable games and the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
However, like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its phony (in real life) owner, Louisville football last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out to change the culture and win matches and worked wonders at Appalachian State. This wont happen immediately as the talent level is down in theVille. However this is a big time for Louisville, a team that has the chance to start taking actions.
Ive read in which the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall as the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the protection, well, which makes me more nervous. Why you have your Irish up, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing flying in this match as the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest. Scott Satterfield is now in the big leagues and he has a team coming off of a dismal 2-10 record this past year, in which they went winless. This rebuild is comparable to seeking to turn it in an F-22 Raptor and taking a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is facing a group that made it to the CFP last year and owned 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 till they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders also, averaging 33 points per match over.
So, my question is, how can be a quarterback like traveling who is slow to discharge, supposed to obtain some traction against a Irish defense? Especially when hes working with an offensive scheme that is entirely new and a coach?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to have the ability to keep up and Im desperate for handicapping experience and the brand new wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to see in your last sentence youre coming around to the sunny side of sport betting, or you are simply being the exact identical wise a** you are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are currently making this is decided on by school football selections. I am the first to realize Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 and completely sucked last year.
Like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons but coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that team COMPLETELY. A coach brings a new attitude and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on making a statement, with this being a match. Louisville does have to hope never and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly using gold and all the blue is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and if dishing out 20 or more specimens, a ATS. This defense you said may improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, even whenever you dont/cant amuse like Bama or Clemson, it will take some time.
I was being a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this instance, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville could be better but I would submit that they are trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their document rendered by an trainer such as Petrino.
I understand that laying nearly three touchdowns on the road would be square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but on occasion the people is right, and in this situation they are. Until when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week next week, lets see what happens on Monday when the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
