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 also I will deviate to dip our toes into uncharted waters.
It will almost certainly be the very first and only time this year we do this, as the last week of exhibition NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season sport of NCAA football comprising one of the very best clubs in the nation, plus a legendary soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while the Titans were supported by me. Weve been placing wins forth and back so it appears like its my turn to get the wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will accompany the squares putting the thick lumber on a street favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days prior to the Monday night affair, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point on the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its presently offered in a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever of the very best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but youre currently leaning to the Cardinals. Besides the place, why is it that you believe Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes a triumph and at least IMO, it said a lot about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Lets move to soccer, will our records on this one and where the games count.
Recall those Thursday night games Louisville used to perform against big-name opponents? They held their own and engineered several upsets. These were fun games and the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
But just like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders in Appalachian State and are out to change the culture and win games. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. Nonethelessthis is a moment for Louisville, a group 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 because the direct running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the shield, well, that makes me more nervous. You have up your Irish, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much since the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest, flying in this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a team coming off of a dismal album this past year, where they went winless in ACC action. This rebuild is akin to seeking to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is facing a group which made it to the CFP this past year and possessed only 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 as well, averaging over 33 points per game.
My question is, how can be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to release, designed to gain any traction against a swarming defense that is Irish? Particularly when hes working with a trainer and an offensive strategy?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville will have the ability to keep up and I am desperate to the ancestral wisdom and handicapping expertise that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to read in your last sentence youre coming around to the glowing side of sports betting, or you are simply being the same shrewd a** you are. I will let the SBR readers who are currently making that is decided on by school football selections. Im the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 and fully pumped last year.
But that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons. A new mindset is brought by A new coach and his team will be sold by Satterfield on making a statement with this being a game. Louisville does need to hope the Irish will take them for granted and not have much fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly with gold and all the blue is ATS as a road favorite, also if dishing out 20 or more specimens, a ATS. That defense you mentioned may improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, even whenever you dont/cant recruit like Bama or Clemson, it is going to take time.
I was becoming a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping that was impressive resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville might be greater but Id submit that they could be coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their document left by an awkward coach such as Petrino.
I understand that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the road is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the people is correct, and in this instance they are. Until when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week next week, lets see what happens on Monday when the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
