Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and I will deviate to dip our toes into uncharted waters and leave our school football selections on the Monday night game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this year we do so, as the last week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season sport of NCAA soccer featuring one of the top teams in the nation, plus a legendary football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a wager about the Steelers while the Titans were supported by me. We have been placing wins forth and back so it appears like its my turn for the gold wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will accompany the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a public street favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days before this Monday night affair, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point on the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its now offered at a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever the very best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but you are currently leaning onto the Cardinals. Apart from the venue, why do you believe Louisville can hang with the boys in South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup IMO and a convincing win, said a lot about both the Steelers and Titans management. Lets proceed to soccer, will our records with this one and in which the matches count.
Recall Louisville utilized to perform against big-name opponents? They held their engineered and own several upsets. These were fun games to watch and the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
But just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its phony (in real life) owner, Louisville football last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out win matches and to alter the culture and worked miracles at Appalachian State. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down in theVille. Nonetheless, this is a big time for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity.
I have read in which the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall since the direct running back. The protection, well, which makes me more worried than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. Please do tell why youve got your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and he has a team this past year, in which they went winless coming off of a dismal 2-10 album. This rebuild is comparable to trying to turn it in an F-22 Raptor and carrying a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it into the CFP this past year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders also, averaging over 33 points per game.
My query is, how can be a cop such as Pass who is slow to discharge, designed to get some traction against a swarming Irish defense? Especially when he is working with a trainer and an entirely new offensive strategy?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to be able to keep up with this Golden Domers and I am desperate for your brand new wisdom and handicapping experience that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to see in your last sentence you are coming over to the glowing side of sport betting, or you are simply being the identical wise a** you are. I will let the SBR readers that are currently making school football selections decide on this. Im the first to realize Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 and completely sucked final season.
Like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons but that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A fresh mindset is brought by A new coach and this being a match, Satterfield will sell his staff on building a statement. Louisville does need to trust never and the Irish will take them have much fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly with all the blue and gold is ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS, if dishing out more or 20 digits. That defense you mentioned might improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, even if you dont/cant recruit like Clemson or even Bama, it will take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this event, because Louisville could be better compared to last year but I would submit that they are trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their document rendered by an trainer such as Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the road would be square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but at times the general public is right, and also in this case they certainly are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, let us see what happens on Monday when the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
