Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our school football picks on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then also I will deviate to dip our toes into uncharted waters.
It will most likely be the first and only time this year we do so, as the previous week of exhibition NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season sport of NCAA soccer featuring one of the top clubs in the nation, and a legendary soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while the Titans were backed by me. We have been placing wins back and on so it appears like its my turn to get the golden wreath, as I will follow the squares laying the heavy lumber onto a street favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days ahead of the Monday night affair, I see 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 throughout the board whatsoever the best internet sportsbooks.
Youre currently leaning on the Cardinals in this battle although I like the Irish. Apart from the venue do you think Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup and a convincing triumph IMO, said a great deal about the Steelers and Titans management. Let us proceed to real soccer, in which the games rely and so will our recordings with this one.
Recall Louisville used to perform against competitions that are big-name? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games and also the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
However, for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders in Appalachian State and are out win matches and to alter the culture. This will not happen right away as the ability level is down in theVille. Yet this is a major time for Louisville, a team which has the opportunity.
I have read where the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall as the direct running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the shield that makes me more nervous. Please do tell why you have up your Irish.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much flying into this match since the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and hes got a group coming from a dismal 2-10 album last year, where they went winless. This rebuild is comparable to carrying a hot air balloon and trying to turn it into an F-22 Raptor.
While this may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a group that made it to the CFP this past year and possessed one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 till they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per match.
So, my query is, how will be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to release, designed to get any traction against a swarming shield? Especially when he is working with a trainer and an entirely new offensive strategy?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to have the ability to keep pace and Im desperate for handicapping experience that is prodigious and the sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im happy to read in your last sentence youre coming around to the glowing side of sports betting, or you are just being the exact same wise a** you are. Ill allow the SBR readers that are currently making school football selections decide on this. Im the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 and sucked final year.
Just like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons, However, that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A trainer brings a fresh attitude on creating a statement, and this being a national match, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to hope the Irish will take them for granted and never have a lot of fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly using gold and all the blue is ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS if dishing out more or 20 specimens. This defense you said may improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, even whenever you dont/cant recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it will take some time.
I was a bit facetious because although you have an impressive handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this case, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville might be greater but Id submit that they are coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable document left by an equally inept trainer like Petrino.
I understand that placing nearly three touchdowns on the road would be square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but at times the people is right, and also in this situation they are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week next week, lets see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
