Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and that I shall deviate to dip our feet into uncharted waters and then leave our school football selections.
It will most likely be the first and only time this season we do this, as the previous week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season sport of NCAA soccer featuring one of the very best clubs in the nation, and a mythical football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while I supported the Titans. Weve been placing wins forth and back so it appears like it is my turn for the golden wreath, as I will accompany all the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a road favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days before this Monday night event, I see that the line has spiked a half-point on the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered in a solid -20 across the board whatsoever of the best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I enjoy the Irish but youre currently leaning in this season-opening clash to the Cardinals. Apart from the venue is it that you believe Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup IMO and a successful triumph, said a lot about the Steelers and Titans management. Let us proceed to football, where the matches count and will our records on this one.
Recall all those Thursday night matches Louisville used to play against competitions that are big-name? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were enjoyable games to watch and the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
But such as the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville football last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles and will be out win games and to change the civilization. This wont happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a major moment for Louisville, a group which has the opportunity.
Ive read in which the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall since the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the protection, well, which makes me more nervous. Please do tell you have your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much as the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest, flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and hes got a team coming off of a dismal record this past year in which they went winless in ACC action. This rebuild is akin to taking a hot air balloon and trying to turn it into an F-22 Raptor.
While that may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is facing a team that made it to the CFP last year and possessed only 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 met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per match.
My question is, just how is a quarterback like traveling who is slow to discharge, designed to obtain any traction against a swarming Irish defense? Particularly when he is working with a new coach and an entirely new offensive scheme?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to have the ability to keep pace with the Golden Domers and I am desperate to your sage wisdom and prodigious handicapping experience!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to read in your last sentence youre coming on to the sunny side of sport betting, or youre simply being the same shrewd a** you usually are. I will allow the SBR readers that are making that is decided on by school football picks. I am the first to realize Louisville fully pumped and was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 last year.
Just like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons but that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A fresh mindset is brought by A new trainer and his team will be sold by Satterfield on building a statement, this being a federal game. Louisville does need to hope never and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly using the blue and gold is ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS if dishing out more or 20 specimens. This defense you mentioned may improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, even when you dont/can not recruit like Clemson or Bama, it is going to take time.
I was becoming a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this event, because Louisville could be greater compared to last year but I would submit that they could be coached by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their document left by an coach like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the street is square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but at times the people is right, and also in this instance they surely are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week next week, let us see what happens on Monday once the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
