Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our school football selections and also that I will deviate from our regularly scheduled program of NFL debate to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will almost certainly be the very first and only time this season we do so, as the previous week of exhibition NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season game of NCAA football comprising one of the best teams in the country, plus a mythical football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a wager about the Steelers while the Titans were endorsed by me. We have been swapping wins back and on so it looks like it is my turn to get the gold wreath, as I will follow all the squares laying the lumber on a public street favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days ahead of the Monday night event, I see that the line has spiked a half-point on the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered in a solid -20 round the board whatsoever of the very best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I love the Irish but youre currently leaning on the Cardinals. Other than the place, why do you think Louisville will hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup , Swinger, a win and at least IMO, said a lot about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Let us move to soccer, where the games count and so will our records on this one.
Recall Louisville utilized to play against opponents? They more than held their engineered and own upsets. These were enjoyable games to watch and also the Cardinals were an exciting club.
But for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out to alter the civilization and win games and worked wonders. This will not happen right away as the talent level is down in theVille. Yet , this is a time for Louisville, a group which has the chance.
I have read in which the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall as the direct running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the protection which makes me more nervous. You have up your Irish please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest flying into this game. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and he has a group coming off of a dismal album where they went winless in ACC activity this past year. This rebuild is comparable to taking a hot air balloon and trying to turn it in an F-22 Raptor.
While this may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it into the CFP last year and possessed one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders as well, averaging 33 points per match over.
My question is, just how can be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to discharge, designed to obtain some traction against a defense that is Irish? Particularly when he is working with an offensive strategy that is entirely new and a new trainer?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to have the ability to keep pace and I am desperate to your ancestral wisdom and prodigious handicapping expertise!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am glad to read in your last sentence youre coming on to the glowing side of sport betting, or youre just being the identical wise a** you are. Ill let the SBR readers that are currently making this is decided on by college football selections. Im the first to understand Louisville completely sucked and was, however, 1-11 ATS last season.
Just like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons However, that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A coach brings a fresh attitude and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on building a statement with this being a game. Louisville does need to hope never and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have much fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly using the blue and gold is ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS, when dishing out 20 or more digits. That defense you mentioned might improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, if you dont/can not recruit like Clemson or Bama, it will take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because although youve got an impressive handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this instance, because Louisville might be greater but Id submit that they are trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable document rendered by an awkward trainer such as Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that placing nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but on occasion the people is correct, and also in this situation they are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
