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 and I will deviate to dip our feet.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this year we do this, as the previous week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season sport of NCAA soccer featuring one of the top clubs in the country, and a mythical soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a wager about the Steelers while the Titans were backed by me. We have been placing wins back and on so it appears like its my turn for the wreath, as I will accompany each of the squares putting the thick lumber on a road favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days prior to this Monday night event, I see that the line has spiked a half-point about the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is presently offered in a solid -20 across the board at all of the best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but you are currently leaning on the Cardinals. Apart from the venue, why do you think Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup at least and a win IMO, it said a lot about the direction of both the Steelers and Titans. Let us move ahead to real soccer, in which the matches rely and will our recordings with this one.
Recall those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to perform against big-name competitions? They more than held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games and the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
But for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (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 alter the civilization and worked miracles at Appalachian State. This will not happen right away as the talent level is down from theVille. This is a time for Louisville, a group that has the opportunity.
I have read where the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall as the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the shield, well, which makes me more nervous. Why you have your Irish up please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much flying into this game as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and he has a team coming off of a dismal 2-10 record in which they went winless this past year. This rebuild is akin to carrying a hot air balloon and attempting to turn it into an F-22 Raptor.
While that may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it to the CFP last year and possessed one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders averaging 33 points per match over.
My question is, just how will be a quarterback like traveling who is slow to discharge, designed to gain some traction against a shield? Particularly when he is working with an offensive strategy that is entirely new and a coach?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to be able to keep up with the Golden Domers and Im desperate to the ancestral wisdom and handicapping experience that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to read in your last sentence you are coming on to the bright side of sports betting, or you are simply being the exact identical wise a** you usually are. I will allow the SBR readers that are making that is decided on by school football selections. Im the first to realize Louisville sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 final year.
However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons. A coach brings a new attitude and his team will be sold by Satterfield on building a statement, with this being a federal game. Louisville does have to hope they will not be taken by the Irish and never have much fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly with all the blue and gold is ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS, if dishing out 20 or more specimens. That defense you said might improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, even whenever you dont/can not amuse like Bama or Clemson, it is going to take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because although you have an handicapping that was impressive restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this case, because Louisville might be better but Id submit that they could be trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable record left by an equally inept trainer like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that laying nearly three touchdowns on the street would be square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but at times the people is right, and also in this situation they certainly are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, let us see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
