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 Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and I shall detract to dip our feet.
It will probably be the first and only time this year we do this, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season game of NCAA football comprising one of the very best teams in the country, and a legendary soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while the Titans were supported by me. Weve been placing wins forth and back so it appears like its my turn for the gold wreath, since I heartily endorse the Irish and will accompany each of the squares laying the heavy lumber onto a public road favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days ahead of the Monday night event, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point on the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered in a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever of the best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but youre currently leaning in this clash onto the Cardinals. Besides the place do you believe Louisville can hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yes a successful win and at least IMO, it said a lot about both the Steelers and Titans direction. Let us move ahead to real soccer, will our records with this one and where the matches rely.
Remember those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to perform against competitions that are big-name? They held their engineered and own several upsets. These were enjoyable games and the Cardinals were a thrilling club.
But for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders in Appalachian State and are out to alter the civilization and win matches. This wont happen right away as the talent level is down from theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity.
I have read in which the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall since the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the defense that makes me more nervous. You have your Irish up please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much flying in this game as the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a team coming off of a dismal record last year in which they went winless. This rebuild is comparable to seeking to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is facing a team which made it into the CFP last year and possessed only 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 fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders also, averaging 33 points per match over.
My query is, just how is a quarterback like traveling who is slow to discharge, supposed to gain any traction against a swarming Irish defense? Especially when hes working with an offensive strategy that is entirely new and a coach?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to be able to keep pace with this Golden Domers and I am desperate for your brand new wisdom and prodigious handicapping expertise!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im happy to read in your last sentence you are coming around to the glowing side of sports gambling, or youre just being the same shrewd a** you are. Ill let the SBR readers who are making that is decided on by school football picks. Im the first to understand Louisville fully pumped and was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 final year.
But that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons. A new trainer brings a fresh mindset and his team will be sold by Satterfield on building a statement, with this being a federal match. Louisville does have to hope the Irish will take them and never have much fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly with all the blue and gold is only 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also if dishing out 20 or more digits, a mere 7-9-1 ATS. That defense you mentioned may improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, even if you dont/can not amuse like Clemson or Bama, it will take time.
I was becoming a bit facetious because though you have an impressive handicapping resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville could be greater than last year but I would submit that they are coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable document rendered by an equally inept coach such as Petrino.
I know that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the road is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but at times the people is correct, and in this case they surely are. Until next week once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
