Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our school football selections on the Monday night game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then also that I will detract from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL debate to dip our toes into uncharted waters.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this season we do this, as the previous week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season game of NCAA soccer featuring one of the greatest clubs in the country, plus a mythical soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while the Titans were supported by me. We have been swapping wins back and forth so it appears like its my turn for the gold wreath, as I will follow the squares laying the heavy lumber on a road favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days prior to this Monday night event, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point about the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is presently offered at a solid -20 round the board whatsoever the very best online sportsbooks.
I love the Irish but you are currently leaning onto the Cardinals. Aside from the place, why is it that you think Louisville could hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yes at least and a win IMO, it said a great deal about the Steelers and Titans management. Let us proceed to football, where the games rely and so will our recordings on this one.
Recall those Thursday night matches Louisville used to perform against opponents? They held their engineered and own several upsets. These were enjoyable games to watch and the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
However, for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders at 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 time for Louisville, a group that has the chance to start taking actions in the right direction.
I have read where the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall since the direct running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins the shield that makes me more worried. You have up your Irish please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing flying in this match as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a team coming off of a dismal 2-10 record where they went winless last year. This rebuild is akin to carrying a hot air balloon and attempting to turn it.
While that may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is facing a group which made it to the CFP this past year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 till they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders averaging 33 points per game over.
So, my query is, just how will be a quarterback like traveling who is slow to release, supposed to obtain any traction against a swarming defense that is Irish? Particularly when hes working with a new coach and an offensive strategy that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville will be able to keep up with the Golden Domers and I am desperate to prodigious handicapping expertise and your brand new wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to see in your last sentence youre coming on to the bright side of sport betting, or youre simply being the exact shrewd a** you are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are currently making that is decided on by school football picks. Im the first to realize Louisville sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 last season.
But that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, just like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons. A trainer brings a fresh attitude and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on making a statement with this being a match. Louisville does need to hope they will not be taken by the Irish and not have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with gold and the blue is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS when dishing out more or 20 specimens. That defense you mentioned might improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, even when you dont/cant recruit like Bama or Clemson, it will take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this case, because Louisville could be better but I would submit that they could be trained with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable record left by an trainer such as Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that placing nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but sometimes the people is right, and also in this instance they surely are. Until next week when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
