Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and that I will deviate to dip our toes into uncharted waters and render 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 first and only time this year we do so, as the previous week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season sport of NCAA soccer featuring one of the greatest clubs in the country, and a legendary soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a bet about the Steelers while I supported the Titans. We have been placing wins forth and back so it appears like its my turn for the golden wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will follow all the squares laying the lumber on a street favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days prior to this Monday night affair, I see that the line has spiked a half-point about the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered in a solid -20 across the board whatsoever of the best internet sportsbooks.
You are currently leaning onto the Cardinals although doug, I love the Irish. Besides the venue, why do you think Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup a win and at least IMO, it said a lot about the management of both the Steelers and Titans. Let us move ahead to soccer, will our records with this one and in which the matches count.
Remember Louisville utilized to perform against competitions? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were enjoyable games to see and the Cardinals were a thrilling club.
However, such as the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) owner, 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 change the culture. This wont happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. However , this is a time for Louisville, a team that has the chance.
I have read where the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall since the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the protection, well, which makes me more worried. Why you have your Irish up, please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing flying in this match as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a group this past year, where they went winless in ACC action coming from a dismal 2-10 album. This rebuild is akin to attempting to turn it and taking a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it to the CFP last year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders as well, averaging 33 points per match over.
My question is, just how will be a quarterback like traveling who is slow to discharge, designed to obtain any traction against a defense? Particularly when he is working with a new trainer and an offensive strategy?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to be able to keep pace with the Golden Domers and Im desperate for handicapping expertise and the sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to read in your last sentence youre coming around to the glowing side of sports betting, or youre simply being the same wise a** you are. Ill let the SBR readers that are currently making that is decided on by school football selections. Im the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 and sucked last season.
However, that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, just like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons. A new attitude is brought by A coach on creating a statement, and with this being a national game, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to hope the Irish will take them and not have much fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly with the blue and gold is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and when dishing out 20 or more specimens, a ATS. That defense you said might improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, even whenever you dont/cant recruit like Bama or Clemson, it is going to take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was a bit facetious because though you have an impressive handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this event, because Louisville might be better but I would submit that they could be trained with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their record left by an trainer like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the road would be square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but on occasion the public is right, and also in this case they are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week next week, lets see what happens on Monday once the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
