Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our college football picks on the Monday night game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then I will detract to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will probably be the first and only time this season we do so, as the last week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the greatest teams in the country, plus a legendary football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a bet on the Steelers while the Titans were supported 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 follow each of the squares laying the heavy lumber on a public street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days before this Monday night event, I see the line has spiked a half-point about the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its presently offered in a solid -20 across the board at all of the very best online sportsbooks.
Youre currently leaning on the Cardinals although I like the Irish. Aside from the venue is it that you think Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup Swinger, a win and IMO, it said a great deal about the Steelers and Titans management. Let us proceed to soccer, will our records with this one and where the matches rely.
Remember Louisville used to perform against competitions that are big-name? They held their own and engineered many upsets. These were fun games and also the Cardinals were a thrilling club.
However, like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out win matches and to change the civilization and worked wonders. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a time for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity.
Ive read where the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall as the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins the shield which makes me more worried. Why you have your Irish up please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much since the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest, flying into this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a team this past year, in which they went winless in ACC activity coming off of a dismal album. This rebuild is comparable to taking a hot air balloon and attempting to turn it.
While this may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a team which made it to the CFP this past year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders as well, averaging 33 points per game over.
My query is, just how can be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to discharge, designed to obtain any traction against a swarming shield? Particularly when hes working with a trainer and an offensive scheme that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep pace and I am desperate to handicapping expertise that is prodigious and the ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to read in your last sentence youre coming over to the sunny side of sports betting, or youre just being the exact shrewd a** you are. I will allow the SBR readers that are currently making college football picks decide on that. Im the first to realize Louisville wasnt only 2-10, however, 1-11 ATS and sucked final year.
Like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons, However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new coach brings a new mindset and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on building a statement, with this being a game. Louisville does need to trust not and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly using all the blue and gold is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS if dishing out 20 or more specimens. This defense you said might improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, when you dont/can not amuse like Clemson or even Bama, it will take time.
I was becoming a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping that was impressive resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, because Louisville might be greater but I would submit that they are trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their record left by an trainer like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the street would be square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but at times the people is correct, and in this instance they are. Until next week when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday when the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
