Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and that I shall detract to dip our toes and leave our school football picks on the Monday night game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this season we do this, as the last week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season game of NCAA football comprising one of the greatest teams in the country, plus a legendary soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while I supported the Titans. We have been placing wins forth and back so it appears like it is my turn for the wreath, as I will follow the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a street favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days before this Monday night affair, I see that the line has spiked a half-point on the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered at a solid -20 across the board whatsoever the best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I love the Irish but you are currently leaning within this season-opening battle onto the Cardinals. Apart from the place do you believe Louisville will hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup Swinger, at least and a triumph IMO, said a lot about both the Steelers and Titans direction. Let us proceed to soccer, will our records on this one and where the games count.
Recall all those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to perform against opponents? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were fun games and the Cardinals were an golf club.
But for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville football last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out to alter the culture and win games and worked miracles. This wont happen right away as the talent level is down from theVille. Nonetheless, this is a time for Louisville, a team which has the opportunity.
Ive read where the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall since the lead running back. The protection which makes me more worried than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. Please do tell youve got up your Irish.
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 he has a group last year, in which they went winless in ACC action coming from a dismal album. This rebuild is comparable to carrying a hot air balloon and trying to turn it in an F-22 Raptor.
While this may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is facing a team that made it into the CFP last year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense has been clicking on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per match.
My issue is, just how is a quarterback like Pass whos slow to release, designed to obtain any traction against a swarming shield? Especially when he is working with a new coach and an offensive strategy?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to be able to keep pace with this Golden Domers and I am desperate to your sage wisdom and prodigious handicapping expertise!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to read in your last sentence youre coming over to the glowing side of sport betting, or youre just being the same shrewd a** you usually are. I will allow the SBR readers that are making this 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.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that staff COMPLETELY. A coach brings a new mindset on creating a statement and with this being a match, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to hope they will not be taken by the Irish and never have much fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly using gold and all the blue is ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS when decked out more or 20 digits. That defense you said may improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, when you dont/cant amuse like Clemson or even Bama, it will take time.
I was being a bit facetious because though youve got an impressive handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville might be better but I would submit that they could be trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their record left by an trainer such as Petrino.
I know that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the road would be square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but on occasion the public is correct, and in this case they definitely are. Until when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week next week, lets see what happens on Monday once the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
