Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our college football picks and I shall deviate from our regularly scheduled program of NFL debate to dip our feet.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this year we do this, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season game of NCAA soccer comprising one of the best teams in the country, plus a mythical football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while I supported the Titans. Weve been swapping wins forth and back so it appears like its my turn for the gold wreath, as I will accompany the squares laying the heavy lumber on a street favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days prior to the Monday night affair, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point on the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered at a solid -20 round the board at all the very best internet sportsbooks.
I enjoy the Irish but youre leaning to the Cardinals within this battle. Other than the place, why do you believe Louisville could hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup Swinger, and a convincing win IMO, it said a great deal about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Let us proceed to real football, where the games count and will our records with this one.
Recall all those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to perform against big-name competitions? They held their own and engineered many upsets. These were enjoyable games to watch and the Cardinals were a thrilling club.
But for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out win matches and to alter the civilization and worked miracles. This will not happen right away as the talent level is down in theVille. Yet this is a moment for Louisville, a team which has the chance.
I have read in which the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall as the lead running back. The defense, well, which makes me more worried than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. You have your Irish up, please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest, flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is now in the big leagues and he has a team this past year, where they went winless in ACC action coming off of a dismal 2-10 album. This rebuild is akin to trying to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is facing a team that made it to the CFP last year and owned 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 until they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders as well, averaging 33 points per match over.
My query is, how can be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to release, designed to get any traction against a swarming Irish shield? Particularly when he is working with a brand new coach and a completely new offensive strategy?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will be able to keep pace with the Golden Domers and I am desperate for handicapping experience that is prodigious and the sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to read in your last sentence you are coming over to the bright side of sports gambling, or you are simply being the exact same shrewd a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers that are currently making this is decided on by college football picks. Im the first to understand Louisville completely sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 last season.
Like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons but that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A fresh mindset is brought by A coach on building a statement and this being a federal match, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to trust not and the Irish will take them have a lot of fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly using gold and all the blue is ATS as a road favorite, also if dishing out 20 or more specimens, a ATS. That defense you mentioned might improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, even when you dont/can not amuse like Bama or even Clemson, it will take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because although you have an handicapping that was impressive resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this event, because Louisville might be greater but Id submit that they are coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable record left by an inept coach such as Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but on occasion the public is right, and also in this situation they definitely are. Until next week once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday once the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
