Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our school football selections on the Monday night match between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and then also I will detract from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL debate to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this season we do this, as the previous week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season game of NCAA football featuring one of the best teams in the nation, and a mythical football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while the Titans were endorsed by me. We have been swapping wins on and back so it looks like its my turn for the wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will follow each of the squares putting the thick lumber onto a street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days before this Monday night event, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point about the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered at a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever of the best internet sportsbooks.
I love the Irish but youre currently leaning in this battle to the Cardinals. Apart from the place do you believe Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup Swinger, a successful win and at least IMO, it said a great deal about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Lets move ahead to real soccer, where the games rely and so will our records with this one.
Recall Louisville utilized to perform against competitions? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were enjoyable games to see and also the Cardinals were an club.
But for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out to alter the culture and win matches and worked miracles. This will not happen immediately as the talent level is down from theVille. This is a time for Louisville, a team which has the chance.
I have read in which the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall because the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the shield, well, that makes me more nervous. Please do tell youve got your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and he has a group coming from a dismal album where they went winless in ACC action this past year. This rebuild is akin to trying to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and taking a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is facing a team which made it into the CFP this past year and owned 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 till they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders also, averaging over 33 points per game.
My issue is, how will be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to discharge, supposed to gain any traction against a shield that is Irish? Especially when he is working with a trainer and an offensive strategy that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to have the ability to keep pace with the Golden Domers and I am desperate for the sage wisdom and handicapping experience that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to read in your last sentence you are coming over to the glowing side of sport gambling, or you are simply being the same wise a** you usually are. I will let the SBR readers that are making college football selections decide on this. Im the first to realize Louisville fully pumped and was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 final season.
Just like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons, but that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new mindset is brought by A coach and this being a national match, Satterfield will sell his team. Louisville does need to trust they will not be taken by the Irish and not have a lot of fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly using gold and the blue is ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS, when dishing out more or 20 specimens. This defense you said might improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, even whenever 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 you have an impressive handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this scenario, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville might be greater compared to last year but Id submit that they could be coached by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable document rendered by an coach such as Petrino.
I know that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the road is square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but at times the general public is correct, and in this instance they certainly 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 ready to rumble in Louisville.
