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 Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and then also I will deviate to dip our feet.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this year we do so, as the last week of exhibition NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season game of NCAA football comprising one of the best clubs in the nation, and a legendary soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a bet on the Steelers while the Titans were endorsed by me. We have been swapping wins back and forth so it appears like its my turn to get the wreath, as I will follow each of the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a public road favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days prior to this Monday night affair, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point on the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered in a solid -20 across the board whatsoever of the best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but youre currently leaning onto the Cardinals in this season-opening battle. Besides the venue is it that you believe Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes, Swinger, IMO and at least a convincing win, it said a great deal about the Steelers and Titans direction. Let us proceed to football, where the matches rely and will our records on this one.
Remember Louisville used to play against big-name competitions? They held their engineered and own several upsets. These were enjoyable games to see and also the Cardinals were an club.
However, for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles at Appalachian State and will be out to change the civilization and win matches. This wont happen immediately as the talent level is down from theVille. This is a big time for Louisville, a team which has the chance.
Ive read in which the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall because the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins the defense that makes me more worried. 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 snug in their nest. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a group coming from a dismal album last year in which they went winless. This rebuild is comparable to seeking to turn it and taking a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it into the CFP last year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders as well, averaging 33 points per game over.
My query is, just how will be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to release, supposed to get some traction against a shield that is Irish? Particularly when hes working with a new trainer and an offensive strategy that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will be able to keep up and I am desperate to the brand new wisdom and handicapping expertise that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to read in your last sentence youre coming on to the glowing side of sport betting, or you are simply being the exact identical wise a** you usually are. I will let the SBR readers that are making school football picks decide on this. I am the first to realize Louisville completely sucked and was, however, 1-11 ATS final year.
Like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that team COMPLETELY. A trainer brings a fresh attitude and this being a national match, Satterfield will market his staff on making a statement. Louisville does have to hope not and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have much fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with all the blue and gold is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS, when dishing out 20 or more digits. This defense you mentioned may improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, even when you dont/can not recruit like Clemson or Bama, it is going to take some time.
I was a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping that was impressive restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this instance, because Louisville might be greater compared to last year but Id submit that they could be trained with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable record rendered by an equally awkward trainer like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that placing nearly three touchdowns on the street would be square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the public is right, and in this case they definitely are. Until once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, let us see what happens on Monday once the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
