Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and I will detract to dip our feet and leave our school football picks.
It will most likely be the first and only time this year we do so, as the previous week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season game of NCAA football comprising one of the very best teams in the nation, and a mythical soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while the Titans were backed by me. Weve been swapping wins forth and back so it looks like its my turn to the wreath, as I will accompany the squares laying the heavy lumber on a public road favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days prior to this Monday night affair, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point on the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered in a solid -20 round the board at all the best internet sportsbooks.
I love the Irish but youre currently leaning onto the Cardinals in this season-opening battle. Other than the place, why do you think Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: YesSwinger, a successful win and at least IMO, it said a lot about the Steelers and Titans management. Lets move to football, will our recordings with this one and where the matches rely.
Recall Louisville utilized to play against competitions that are big-name? They more than held their own and engineered several upsets. These were enjoyable games to see and the Cardinals were an club.
But just like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles and will be out to change the civilization and win games. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a major moment for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity.
I have read where the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall since the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the defense, well, that makes me more worried. Why you have your Irish up please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much flying in this match since the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a team coming off of a dismal record this past year where they went winless in ACC action. This rebuild is akin to seeking to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and carrying a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a group that made it into the CFP this past year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, equaling only 17.2 points within the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders also, averaging 33 points per game over.
My issue is, just how is a quarterback like Pass whos slow to discharge, supposed to gain any traction against a swarming Irish defense? Especially when he is working with an offensive strategy that is entirely new and a new coach?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will be able to keep up with this Golden Domers and I am desperate for your sage wisdom and handicapping experience!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to see in your last sentence you are coming on to the bright side of sport gambling, or you are simply being the identical shrewd a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers that are currently making that is decided on by school football selections. Im the first to realize Louisville completely sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 last season.
Like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons, but that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new mindset is brought by A new trainer and with this being a national game, Satterfield can market his new staff. Louisville does need to hope not and the Irish will take them for granted have much fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly with gold and the blue is ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS, when dishing out 20 or more digits. That defense you said may improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, even when you dont/cant recruit like Clemson or Bama, it is going to take time.
I was a bit facetious because although you have an handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville might be greater but I would submit that they could be trained with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their record rendered by an awkward coach like Petrino.
I know that laying nearly three touchdowns on the street would be square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the general public is right, and also in this case they certainly are. Until next week once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday when the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
