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 picks on the Monday night game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then I shall detract to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this season we do so, as the last week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season sport of NCAA football comprising one of the very best teams in the nation, and a legendary football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a bet about the Steelers while I supported the Titans. Weve been swapping wins on and back so it appears like its my turn for the gold wreath, as I will follow the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a public street favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days ahead of the Monday night event, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point on the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered at a solid -20 across the board at all of the best internet sportsbooks.
You are currently leaning onto the Cardinals within this clash although I enjoy the Irish. Apart from the place, why do you think Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup Swinger, a triumph and at least IMO, said a great deal about the management of both the Steelers and Titans. Let us move ahead to real soccer, so will our records with this one and in which the games count.
Recall those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to perform against opponents? They more than held their engineered and own many upsets. These were enjoyable games to see and also the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
However, just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out win games and to alter the civilization and worked miracles. This will not happen right away as the talent level is down in theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a group which has the chance.
Ive read in which the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanisms 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 23, the protection which 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 snug in their nest flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and hes got a team coming from a dismal 2-10 album in which they went winless this past year. This rebuild is akin to trying to turn it and taking a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is facing a team which made it to the CFP last year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 till they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders as well, averaging over 33 points per match.
My query is, just how can be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to release, supposed to gain any traction against a defense that is Irish? Particularly when he is working with an offensive strategy that is entirely new and a new coach?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to be able to keep pace and Im desperate to the ancestral wisdom and prodigious handicapping expertise!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to read in your last sentence youre coming on to the bright side of sport gambling, or you are just being the same wise a** you are. Ill allow the SBR readers that are currently making this is decided on by school football selections. I am the first to understand Louisville sucked and wasnt just 2-10, but 1-11 ATS final year.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons but that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new attitude is brought by A coach on creating a statement and this being a federal match, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to trust the Irish will take them and never have a lot of fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly with gold and all the blue is ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS, when dishing out more or 20 specimens. This defense you said may improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, even if you dont/can not recruit like Clemson or Bama, it is going to take some time.
I was being a bit facetious because though you have an impressive handicapping restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this scenario, because Louisville could be greater but Id submit that they could be coached by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their document rendered by an coach such as Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the street is square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but on occasion the public is correct, and in this case they definitely are. Until next week once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
