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 then render our college football picks.
It will most likely be the first and only time this year we do so, as the last week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season game 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, lets start the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a bet on the Steelers while the Titans were supported by me. Weve been placing wins forth and back so it looks like its my turn to get the golden wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will follow the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days ahead of this Monday night event, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point about the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered in a solid -20 round the board at all the best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but you are currently leaning within this season-opening battle on the Cardinals. Other than the venue is it that you think Louisville will hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup and a convincing triumph IMO, it said a lot about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Let us move ahead to real soccer, so will our records on this one and where the matches rely.
Remember Louisville used to play against big-name opponents? They held their engineered and own many upsets. These were enjoyable games and also the Cardinals were a thrilling club.
But like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) owner, Louisville football last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out win games and to alter the civilization and worked wonders. This will not happen immediately as the talent level is down in theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a team which has the opportunity to start taking actions in the right direction.
Ive read in which the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall as the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins the protection, well, that makes me more nervous. Why you have up your Irish please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing flying in this game since the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a group last year, in which they went winless in ACC action coming off of a dismal 2-10 record. This rebuild is comparable to seeking to turn it and taking a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a team which made it to the CFP last year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders also, averaging over 33 points per match.
My question is, how will be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to discharge, supposed to get some traction against a Irish defense? Especially when hes working with a completely new offensive scheme and a new coach?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville will be able to keep pace and Im desperate for the brand new wisdom and handicapping experience that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to read in your last sentence youre coming over to the bright side of sport betting, or you are just being the exact identical wise a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are making this is decided on by school football picks. I am the first to realize Louisville completely sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 last year.
Just like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons but that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A fresh attitude is brought by A trainer and his team will be sold by Satterfield on building a statement this being a game. Louisville does need to trust they will not be taken by the Irish and never have a lot of fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly using gold and all the blue is ATS as a road favorite, also when dishing out 20 or more digits, a ATS. This defense you said might improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, if you dont/cant recruit like Clemson or even Bama, it will take time.
I was being a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville could be greater than last year but Id submit that they could be trained by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable document left by an equally awkward trainer like Petrino.
I understand that placing nearly three touchdowns on the street would be square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the general public is right, and in this instance they are. Until when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday once the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
