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 selections on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then that I shall deviate to dip our feet.
It will probably be the very first and only time this season we do so, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season sport of NCAA football featuring one of the very best clubs in the nation, plus a legendary soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a bet on the Steelers while I backed the Titans. We have been swapping wins back and on so it looks like its my turn to the wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will follow the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a public street favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days before the Monday night affair, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point about the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its presently offered in a solid -20 across the board whatsoever the best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I love the Irish but you are leaning in this clash on the Cardinals. Other than the place do you think Louisville could hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup , Swinger, IMO and a convincing triumph, said a great deal about both the Steelers and Titans direction. Let us move ahead to real football, so will our records with this one and where the matches rely.
Remember all those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to play against competitions that are big-name? They more than held their engineered and own upsets. These were enjoyable games to see and also the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
However, just like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders in Appalachian State and are out win games and to change the culture. This wont happen right away as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a major moment for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity to start taking steps in the ideal direction.
I have read where the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall because the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the protection which makes me more nervous. Please do tell you have up your Irish.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest, flying in this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a team coming off of a dismal record where they went winless this past year. This rebuild is akin to seeking 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 that made it into the CFP this past year and owned 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 till 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 can be a quarterback like traveling who is slow to discharge, supposed to gain any traction against a swarming Irish shield? Particularly when hes working with an offensive strategy that is entirely new and a new coach?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to be able to keep pace and I am desperate to your brand new wisdom and handicapping expertise!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to see in your last sentence you are coming on to the sunny side of sport gambling, or youre simply being the identical wise a** you usually are. Ill let the SBR readers who are making school football selections decide on that. I am the first to realize Louisville was not just 2-10, but 1-11 ATS and fully pumped last season.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons, but that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new coach brings a new mindset and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on building a statement, this being a game. Louisville does need to trust never and the Irish will take them for granted have much fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly using the gold and blue is ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS, when dishing out more or 20 specimens. This defense you said may improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, even when you dont/can not recruit like Clemson or Bama, it is going to take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping that was impressive resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this instance, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville might be greater but I would submit that they are coached by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable document left by an equally inept trainer like Petrino.
I know that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the street is square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but on occasion the people is right, and in this instance they surely are. Until next week when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday when the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
