Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our college football picks on the Monday night game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then that I shall deviate from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL discussion to dip our toes.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this season we do this, as the last week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the greatest teams in the nation, and a mythical football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while I supported the Titans. We have been swapping wins forth and back so it appears like it is my turn to get the wreath, as I will follow the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a street favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days prior to the Monday night event, I see the line has spiked a half-point about the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered at a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever the best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I love the Irish but youre leaning in this clash on the Cardinals. Aside from the venue is it that you think Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: YesSwinger, a successful win and at least IMO, said a great deal about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Let us move to soccer, where the matches count and so will our records on this one.
Recall Louisville used to play against opponents that are big-name? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were fun games and the Cardinals were an golf club.
However, such as the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out win games and to change the culture and worked wonders. This wont happen right away as the talent level is down in theVille. This is a time for Louisville, a team 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 enjoy Hassan Hall as the direct running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins the shield which makes me more nervous. Why you have your Irish up please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much flying in this match as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and hes got a team last year, in which they went winless in ACC activity coming from a dismal record. This rebuild is akin to trying to turn it in an F-22 Raptor and carrying a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a team which made it into the CFP last year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 till they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders also, averaging 33 points per match over.
So, my issue is, how can be a quarterback like traveling who is slow to release, supposed to get any traction against a defense? Particularly when he is working with a new coach and an offensive scheme?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep up with this Golden Domers and I am desperate for your brand new wisdom and prodigious handicapping expertise!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am glad to see in your last sentence you are coming over to the bright side of sport betting, or youre just being the identical wise a** you usually are. Ill let the SBR readers who are currently making school football selections decide on this. I am the first to understand Louisville sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 last year.
Like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons, However, that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new trainer brings a new attitude and his team will be sold by Satterfield on making a statement, this being a match. Louisville does have to hope they will not be taken by the Irish and never have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly using gold and all the blue is only 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS, when dishing out more or 20 digits. That defense you said might improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, whenever you dont/can not amuse like Clemson or Bama, it will take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this scenario, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville could be greater than last year but Id submit that they are coached by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable record rendered by an equally awkward coach such as Petrino.
I understand that placing nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the people is right, and in this case they are. Until next week when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday when the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
