Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our college football selections on the Monday night match between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and also that I shall detract from our regularly scheduled program of NFL debate to dip our feet.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this season we do this, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season game of NCAA football comprising one of the best clubs in the country, plus a legendary football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while I supported the Titans. We have been placing wins back and on so it looks like its my turn to the wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will accompany each of the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a public street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days ahead of this 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 throughout the board whatsoever of the very best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but you are currently leaning onto the Cardinals in this clash. Other than the place do you believe Louisville could hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup Swinger, at least and a triumph IMO, it said a lot about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Lets proceed to football, in which the games rely and will our recordings with this one.
Recall Louisville used to perform against competitions? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were enjoyable games and the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
However, like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its phony (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders at Appalachian State and will be out win matches and to alter the civilization. This will not happen right away as the talent level is down from theVille. This is a big time for Louisville, a group which has the chance.
Ive read where the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall because the lead running back. The defense, well, that makes me more worried than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. You have your Irish up, please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing flying in this game since the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a group coming off of a dismal 2-10 record in which they went winless in ACC action last year. This rebuild is akin to carrying a hot air balloon and trying to turn it in an F-22 Raptor.
While that may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is facing 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 within the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per match.
My question is, just how will be a quarterback like traveling who is slow to release, designed to obtain some traction against a Irish shield? Especially when hes working with an offensive scheme that is entirely new and a new trainer?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville will be able to keep up with this Golden Domers and I am desperate for prodigious handicapping experience and the ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im happy to see in your last sentence youre coming on to the glowing side of sports gambling, or youre simply being the exact identical wise a** you are. I will allow the SBR readers that are making that is decided on by college football picks. Im the first to realize Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 and sucked last season.
Like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons but coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that staff COMPLETELY. A fresh attitude is brought by A coach on building a statement, and this being a national match, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to hope never and the Irish will take them for granted have a lot of fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly with gold and all the blue is ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS when dishing out more or 20 digits. That defense you mentioned might improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, whenever you dont/cant amuse like Bama or Clemson, it is going to take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping that was impressive resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this instance, because Louisville could be greater than last year but I would submit that they could be coached with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their record left by an coach such as Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that placing nearly three touchdowns on the road is square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the general public is correct, and also in this situation they certainly are. Until when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week next week, let us see what happens on Monday once the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
