Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our school football picks on the Monday night match between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and then I shall deviate to dip our feet.
It will probably be the first and only time this season we do this, as the previous week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season game of NCAA soccer comprising one of the best clubs in the country, and a legendary soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start 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 on and back so it appears like it is my turn to the wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will follow all the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a public road favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days ahead of this Monday night affair, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point on the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered in a solid -20 across the board at all the best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but you are currently leaning within this season-opening battle to the Cardinals. Apart from the venue, why is it that you think Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes, Swinger, IMO and a convincing triumph, it said a great deal about the Steelers and Titans management. Let us proceed to soccer, so will our recordings on this one and where the games rely.
Remember those Thursday night games Louisville utilized to perform against big-name competitions? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were fun games to watch and the Cardinals were an golf club.
But for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out win games and to change the civilization and worked miracles at Appalachian State. This will not happen immediately as the talent level is down from theVille. However this is a moment for Louisville, a group that has the opportunity.
I have read where the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall because the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins 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 comfortable in their nest. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a team coming off of a dismal 2-10 record where they went winless in ACC activity this past year. This rebuild is akin to taking a hot air balloon and trying to turn it into an F-22 Raptor.
While that may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is facing a team that caused it to the CFP last year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders as well, averaging 33 points per game over.
My query is, just how can be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to release, supposed to get any traction against a swarming defense? Especially when hes working with an offensive scheme and a new trainer?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep up and I am desperate for handicapping expertise and the ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am glad to see in your last sentence you are coming around to the sunny side of sport gambling, or you are simply being the exact wise a** you usually are. I will allow the SBR readers who are currently making school football picks decide on that. I am the first to understand Louisville completely sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 final season.
But that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, just like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons. A new coach brings a fresh attitude and this being a game, Satterfield will sell his team. Louisville does need to trust not and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have much fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly using gold and the blue is ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS, if dishing out more or 20 digits. That defense you said might improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, even if you dont/cant amuse like Bama or Clemson, it is going to take time.
I was being a bit facetious because although youve got an impressive handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, because Louisville might be greater than last year but Id submit that they are coached by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their document left by an coach such as Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the road would be square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but sometimes the general public is correct, and also in this situation they are. Until when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, let us see what happens on Monday when the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
