Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and I will detract to dip our feet into uncharted waters and render our college football picks.
It will most likely be the first and only time this year we do this, as the last week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season game of NCAA football featuring one of the top clubs in the nation, and a mythical football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a bet on the Steelers while the Titans were endorsed by me. Weve been placing wins back and forth so it appears like it is my turn to get the wreath, as I will follow the squares laying the heavy lumber onto a road favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days before the Monday night affair, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point about the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is presently offered in a solid -20 round the board at all of the very best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I love the Irish but you are leaning in this battle on the Cardinals. Apart from the venue, why is it that you think Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes a convincing triumph and at least IMO, it said a lot about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Lets move ahead to real soccer, where the games count and so will our recordings with this one.
Remember those Thursday night matches Louisville used to play against opponents? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were fun games to see and the Cardinals were an golf club.
But such as the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out win matches and to change the civilization and worked miracles in Appalachian State. This will not happen right away as the ability level is down in theVille. However this is a moment for Louisville, a group which has the chance to begin taking actions in the ideal direction.
I have read where the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall as the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the defense that makes me more worried. Please do tell youve got up your Irish.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much 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 record last year, where they went winless in ACC action. This rebuild is comparable to attempting to turn it in an F-22 Raptor and carrying a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it to the CFP this past year and possessed one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders as well, averaging 33 points per match over.
So, my question is, just how can be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to discharge, supposed to gain any traction against a swarming shield? Particularly when he is working with a completely new offensive scheme and a new trainer?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to have the ability to keep up with the Golden Domers and Im desperate for handicapping experience that is prodigious and your brand new wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am glad to read in your last sentence you are coming around to the bright side of sports betting, or you are simply being the same wise a** you usually are. I will allow the SBR readers who are making that is decided on by school football selections. Im the first to understand Louisville was, however, 1-11 ATS and completely sucked last season.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons but coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that staff COMPLETELY. A new mindset is brought by A new trainer and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on building a statement, this being a game. Louisville does have to hope never and the Irish will take them for granted have a lot of fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly with gold and all the blue is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS, when dishing out 20 or more digits. That defense you said may improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, even if you dont/can not recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it will take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because though youve got an impressive handicapping restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this case, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville could be greater compared to last year but Id submit that they could be trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable record left by an equally awkward coach such as Petrino.
I know that laying nearly three touchdowns on the road is square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but at times the public is correct, and in this case they are. Until next week when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, then lets see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
