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 picks on the Monday night game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and I shall deviate from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL discussion to dip our toes into uncharted waters.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this season we do so, as the previous week of exhibition NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season game of NCAA soccer comprising one of the best clubs in the nation, plus a mythical soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while I backed the Titans. Weve been placing wins on and back so it appears like it is my turn to the wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will accompany each of the squares putting the thick lumber on a street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days ahead of the Monday night event, I see that the line has spiked a half-point about the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered at a solid -20 round the board whatsoever of the very best internet sportsbooks.
You are currently leaning to the Cardinals although doug, I like the Irish. Aside from the venue do you think Louisville will hang with the boys in South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup a triumph and IMO, it said a lot about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Lets move to real football, will our recordings on this one and where the games rely.
Recall Louisville used to play against opponents that are big-name? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games to see and also the Cardinals were a thrilling club.
But just like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out win games and to alter the culture and worked wonders at Appalachian State. This wont happen right away as the talent level is down from theVille. However this is a time for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity.
Ive read in which the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall because the lead running back. The protection that makes me more worried than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. Please do tell why youve got your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing flying in this game as the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest. Scott Satterfield is now in the big leagues and he has a team coming off of a dismal 2-10 record last year, in which they went winless. This rebuild is comparable to trying to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is facing a team which made it into the CFP last year and owned 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 was clicking on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per game.
My question is, how can be a quarterback like traveling who is slow to release, supposed to gain some traction against a defense? Particularly when he is working with an offensive strategy and a trainer?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to have the ability to keep up and I am desperate for handicapping experience that is prodigious and the ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am glad to read in your last sentence youre coming around to the sunny side of sport gambling, or youre just being the same shrewd a** you usually are. Ill let the SBR readers that are currently making college football picks decide on that. I am the first to realize Louisville sucked and was, but 1-11 ATS last year.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons, but that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A fresh mindset is brought by A trainer and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on making a statement, this being a match. Louisville does need to hope the Irish will take them and not have much fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly using all the gold and blue is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also when dishing out 20 or more specimens, a ATS. That defense you mentioned might improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, whenever you dont/can not recruit like Clemson or even Bama, it is going to take some time.
I was being a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping that was impressive resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, because Louisville could be better than last year but Id submit that they are trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable record rendered by an trainer such as Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that placing nearly three touchdowns on the road is square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but sometimes the public is right, and also in this instance they definitely are. Until next week once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
