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 picks on the Monday night game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and also that I will deviate from our regularly scheduled program of NFL debate to dip our feet.
It will most likely be the first and only time this year we do so, as the previous week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the top teams in the nation, and a mythical soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a wager about the Steelers while the Titans were supported by me. Weve been placing wins back and forth so it appears like it is my turn to the golden wreath, as I will follow the squares laying the heavy lumber on a public street favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days before this Monday night affair, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point on the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered in a solid -20 round the board at all the very best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but you are leaning within this season-opening battle onto the Cardinals. Besides the venue, why is it that you think Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: YesSwinger, at least and a successful triumph IMO, said a great deal about both the Steelers and Titans direction. Let us proceed to football, will our records on this one and in which the games count.
Remember all those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to perform against competitions? They more than held their own and engineered upsets. These were fun games and also the Cardinals were a thrilling club.
But just like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles in Appalachian State and will be out win matches and to alter the civilization. This wont happen immediately as the talent level is down from theVille. This is a big moment for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity to start taking steps in the ideal direction.
I have read in which the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall because the lead running back. The defense which makes me more nervous than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. Please do tell youve got your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest flying into this game. Scott Satterfield is now in the big leagues and he has a group coming from a dismal 2-10 album this past year where they went winless. This rebuild is comparable to carrying a hot air balloon and attempting to turn it in an F-22 Raptor.
While that may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting 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 regular 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 game.
My query is, how will be a quarterback like traveling who is slow to release, supposed to get some traction against a swarming shield that is Irish? Particularly when he is working with an offensive strategy that is entirely new and a trainer?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to have the ability to keep up and Im desperate for handicapping expertise that is prodigious and your brand new wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im happy to read in your last sentence youre coming around to the sunny side of sport betting, or you are just being the exact wise a** you usually are. Ill let the SBR readers that are making this is decided on by college football picks. I am the first to realize Louisville sucked and was, however, 1-11 ATS last year.
Like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons, but that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A fresh attitude is brought by A new trainer on building a statement, and this being a federal game, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to trust not and the Irish will take them have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with all the gold and blue is ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS if dishing out 20 or more digits. That defense you said may improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, even when you dont/cant recruit like Clemson or even Bama, it will take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, 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 but I would submit that they are trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable document rendered by an trainer such as Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that placing 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 general public is correct, and in this case they surely are. Until when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
