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 Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and I will detract to dip our toes into uncharted waters.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this year we do so, as the last week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season sport of NCAA football comprising one of the greatest clubs in the country, and a mythical soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while the Titans were endorsed by me. We have been placing wins back and forth so it appears like it is my turn for the wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will follow the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a public street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days before this Monday night event, I see the line has spiked a half-point on the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is presently offered at a solid -20 throughout the board at all of the best internet sportsbooks.
You are currently leaning on the Cardinals in this battle although I enjoy the Irish. Besides the place, why do you believe Louisville could hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup a triumph and at least IMO, said a great deal about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Let us move ahead to soccer, will our recordings on this one and in which the games rely.
Remember all those Thursday night matches Louisville used to perform against competitions that are big-name? They held their own and engineered several upsets. These were enjoyable games to see and the Cardinals were a thrilling club.
However, such as the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles at Appalachian State and are out win matches and to change the culture. This will not happen right away as the ability level is down in theVille. However this is a time for Louisville, a team which has the opportunity to begin taking steps.
Ive read where the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall since the direct running back. The defense, well, which makes me more nervous than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. Please do tell why youve got your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much since the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest flying into this game. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and hes got a team coming from a dismal album last year where they went winless. This rebuild is comparable to taking a hot air balloon and trying to turn it in an F-22 Raptor.
While that may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is facing a team that made it into the CFP this past year and owned only 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 until they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per match.
My question is, just how will be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to discharge, supposed to gain any traction against a swarming defense? Particularly when he is working with a coach and a completely new offensive strategy?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville will have the ability to keep up and Im desperate for handicapping experience that is prodigious and the sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am glad to see in your last sentence you are coming over to the glowing side of sports gambling, or youre simply being the exact identical shrewd a** you are. I will let the SBR readers that are currently making college football selections decide on this. Im the first to understand Louisville fully pumped and was not just 2-10, however, 1-11 ATS final year.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new coach brings a fresh attitude and his team will be sold by Satterfield on creating a statement, with this being a match. Louisville does have to hope the Irish will take them for granted and never have much fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly using gold and all the blue is ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS, when dishing out more or 20 digits. This defense you mentioned might improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, when you dont/cant amuse like Clemson or even Bama, it is going to take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, because Louisville could be greater but I would submit that they are trained by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable record left by an trainer such as Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that placing nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but on occasion the general public is right, and in this instance they are. Until when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week next week, let us see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
