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 and I will deviate to dip our feet.
It will probably be the first and only time this season we do so, as the previous week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season sport of NCAA football featuring one of the very best teams in the nation, and a legendary football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a wager about the Steelers while the Titans were supported by me. Weve been placing wins back and forth so it appears like it is my turn to get the wreath, as I will accompany all the squares laying the heavy lumber on a street favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days ahead of the Monday night affair, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point on the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its presently offered at a solid -20 round the board at all of the best internet sportsbooks.
You are currently leaning onto the Cardinals although doug, I enjoy the Irish. Apart from the place, why do you believe Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes a successful win and at least IMO, it said a great deal about the Steelers and Titans direction. Lets move to real soccer, in which the matches count and so will our recordings on this one.
Remember those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to play against opponents? They held their engineered and own many upsets. These were enjoyable games and also the Cardinals were an club.
However, such as the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out to change the culture and win matches and worked miracles in Appalachian State. This wont happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a team which has the chance to begin taking steps in the ideal direction.
Ive read where the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall because the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the defense which makes me more worried. Please do tell you have your Irish up.
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 now in the big leagues and he has a team coming from a dismal album this past year in which they went winless in ACC activity. This rebuild is comparable to carrying a hot air balloon and attempting to turn it.
While this may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a group that made it to the CFP this past year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders also, averaging over 33 points per game.
So, my issue is, just how can be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to release, designed to gain any traction against a swarming defense that is Irish? Particularly when he is working with an offensive strategy and a trainer?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to have the ability to keep pace and I am desperate to the brand new wisdom and handicapping experience that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am glad to read in your last sentence you are coming around to the sunny side of sport betting, or youre simply being the identical wise a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are making that is decided on by school football picks. Im the first to realize Louisville sucked and wasnt only 2-10, however, 1-11 ATS last year.
Like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A trainer brings a new mindset on making a statement, and this being a federal match, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to trust the Irish will take them for granted and never have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with gold and the blue is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS if dishing out more or 20 digits. This defense you said may improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, even when you dont/cant recruit like Bama or Clemson, it will take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville might be greater but Id submit that they could be coached with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their record rendered by an inept trainer such as Petrino.
I understand that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the street is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but at times the public is correct, and in this case they are. Until when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
