Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our college football picks and then also that I shall detract to dip our toes.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this year we do so, as the last week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season game of NCAA soccer featuring one of the best clubs in the country, plus a mythical soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a wager about the Steelers while the Titans were supported by me. We have been placing wins back and forth so it looks like it is my turn for the wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will accompany the squares laying the lumber on a street favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days ahead of this 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 now offered at a solid -20 round the board whatsoever the very best online sportsbooks.
You are currently leaning on the Cardinals in this season-opening battle although doug, I enjoy the Irish. Apart from the place, why do you think Louisville will hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup a win and at least IMO, said a great deal about both the Steelers and Titans direction. Lets move to football, so will our records on this one and in which the games rely.
Remember Louisville used to play against competitions that are big-name? They held their own and engineered several upsets. These were enjoyable games and the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
But for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out win matches and to alter the civilization and worked miracles at Appalachian State. This will not happen immediately as the talent level is down from theVille. However this is a significant moment for Louisville, a team that has the chance to start taking steps in the right direction.
Ive read where the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall since the direct running back. The shield, well, which makes me more worried than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. Why you have your Irish up please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much flying in this game as the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and hes got a team this past year, in which they went winless in ACC activity coming off of a dismal 2-10 album. This rebuild is comparable to carrying a hot air balloon and attempting to turn it.
While this may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a group that made it into the CFP this past year and possessed one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders also, averaging over 33 points per game.
My query is, how is a quarterback like Pass who is slow to discharge, designed to obtain any traction against a defense? Especially when he is working with a completely new offensive scheme and a coach?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to have the ability to keep up with this Golden Domers and I am desperate to handicapping experience that is prodigious and the brand new wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im happy to see in your last sentence you are coming over to the glowing side of sport betting, or you are simply being the exact shrewd a** you are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are currently making school football selections decide on that. I am the first to realize Louisville wasnt only 2-10, but 1-11 ATS and fully pumped final season.
But that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons. A fresh attitude is brought by A trainer on building a statement and with this being a national game, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to trust never and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have much fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly with gold and all the blue is ATS as a road favorite, and when dishing out 20 or more specimens, a mere 7-9-1 ATS. This defense you said may improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, whenever you dont/can not amuse like Bama or Clemson, it is going to take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because although you have an handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this instance, because Louisville could be greater but I would submit that they could be trained with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their record rendered 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 sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but sometimes the people is right, and in this instance they certainly are. Until once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, let us see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
