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 detract to dip our feet into uncharted waters and then leave our college football selections on the Monday night game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals.
It will almost certainly be the very 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 featuring one of the best clubs in the country, plus a mythical soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while the Titans were backed by me. We have been swapping wins forth and back so it appears like it is my turn for the golden wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will accompany the squares laying the lumber onto a road favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days prior to 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 its now offered at a solid -20 round the board whatsoever of the very best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I enjoy the Irish but youre leaning within this battle onto the Cardinals. Besides the venue is it that you think Louisville can hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup a convincing win and IMO, said a great deal about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Let us proceed to football, where the matches count and will our records with this one.
Recall Louisville utilized to play against competitions? They held their own and engineered many upsets. These were fun games to watch and also the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
However, such as the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out to change the civilization and win matches and worked miracles. This wont happen right away as the talent level is down in theVille. This is a huge time for Louisville, a group which has the chance.
I have read in which the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall since the direct running back. The shield which makes me more worried than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. Why you have up your Irish please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest flying into this game. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and he has a team coming from a dismal 2-10 record in which they went winless in ACC action last year. This rebuild is comparable to carrying a hot air balloon and seeking to turn it.
While this may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is facing a team that made it to the CFP this past 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 until they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders also, averaging 33 points per game over.
My question is, just how will be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to release, supposed to obtain any traction against a defense? Particularly when he is working with a coach and an offensive strategy?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to be able to keep pace and Im desperate for handicapping expertise that is prodigious and the brand new wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am glad to see in your last sentence you are coming around to the sunny side of sports gambling, or you are just being the exact identical shrewd a** you usually are. I will allow the SBR readers who are making school football selections decide on this. I am the first to understand Louisville completely sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 last season.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons, but that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A coach brings a new mindset on building a statement, and this being a game, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to hope not and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have much fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly using all the gold and blue is ATS as a road favorite, also when dishing out 20 or more digits, a mere 7-9-1 ATS. That defense you mentioned might improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, if you dont/can not recruit like Bama or Clemson, it will take some time.
I was a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping that was impressive restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, because Louisville might be greater than last year but I would submit that they are trained with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable record rendered by an equally awkward coach like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly three touchdowns on the road would be square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but at times the general public is right, and in this situation they definitely are. Until when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday when the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
