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 then leave our college football selections.
It will probably be the 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 sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the greatest teams in the country, plus a legendary football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while the Titans were supported by me. We have been swapping wins on and back so it looks like it is my turn to get the gold wreath, as I will accompany all the squares putting the thick lumber on a road favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days ahead of the Monday night affair, I see that the line has spiked a half-point on the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its now offered in a solid -20 across the board at all the very best online sportsbooks.
You are currently leaning to the Cardinals although doug, I like the Irish. Apart from the place do you believe Louisville could hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: YesSwinger, IMO and at least a successful triumph, it said a lot about the Steelers and Titans direction. Lets move ahead to soccer, so will our recordings on this one and in which the games count.
Recall Louisville utilized to perform against big-name opponents? They held their own and engineered several upsets. These were fun games and also the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
However, just like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out to alter the culture and win games and worked wonders. This wont happen immediately as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a group which has the opportunity to begin taking actions in the ideal direction.
I have read where the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall as the direct running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins the defense, well, that makes me more nervous. Why you have up your Irish, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest, flying into this game. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and hes got a group coming from a dismal 2-10 album last year where they went winless. This rebuild is akin to seeking to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and carrying a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is facing a team that made it into the CFP last year and possessed one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging 33 points per game over.
So, my query is, just how will be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to release, supposed to obtain some traction against a shield? Especially when hes working with a coach and an offensive strategy?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to be able to keep up and I am desperate for your ancestral wisdom and handicapping expertise that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im happy to read in your last sentence youre coming around to the bright side of sports gambling, or youre simply being the exact identical shrewd a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers that are currently making this is decided on by school football picks. I am the first to understand Louisville was, but 1-11 ATS and sucked last year.
Like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons but coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that team COMPLETELY. A new attitude is brought by A trainer on creating a statement, and this being a game, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to trust not and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with gold and all the blue is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS, when dishing out more or 20 specimens. This defense you said may improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, when you dont/can not amuse like Clemson or even Bama, it is going to take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping that was impressive resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this instance, because Louisville could be better but I would submit that they could be coached with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable record left by an inept trainer like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the road would be square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the public is correct, and also in this situation they definitely are. Until when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week next week, let us see what happens on Monday when the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
