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 selections on the Monday night game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and then also I shall deviate to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this year we do so, as the previous week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season sport of NCAA soccer featuring one of the greatest teams in the nation, and a mythical soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while the Titans were backed by me. We have been placing wins forth and back so it appears like its my turn to get the gold wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will follow the squares laying the heavy lumber onto a road favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days prior to this Monday night event, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point on the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered at a solid -20 across the board whatsoever of the very best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I enjoy the Irish but you are currently leaning to the Cardinals in this season-opening battle. Other than the place, why is it that you believe Louisville could hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup at least and a successful triumph IMO, it said a great deal about the Steelers and Titans direction. Let us move to soccer, where the games rely and will our recordings with this one.
Remember Louisville used to play against big-name competitions? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were fun games and also the Cardinals were an golf club.
However, such as 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 worked wonders and are out win games and to change the culture. This will not happen immediately as the talent level is down from theVille. This is a huge time for Louisville, a team which has the opportunity to begin taking steps.
Ive read where the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall because the direct running back. The shield which makes me more nervous than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. Please do tell why you have up your Irish.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a team last year, where they went winless in ACC action coming from a dismal 2-10 album. This rebuild is akin to trying to turn it and taking a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is facing a group which made it into the CFP last year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 till they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders also, averaging over 33 points per match.
My query is, just how can be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to release, designed to get any traction against a swarming Irish defense? Especially when he is working with a trainer and an offensive scheme that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to be able to keep pace and Im desperate to handicapping experience and the ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to read in your last sentence youre coming over to the sunny side of sports gambling, or youre just being the exact shrewd a** you usually are. Ill let the SBR readers who are currently making school football picks decide on that. Im the first to realize Louisville completely sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 final year.
Just like he gave up to the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that staff COMPLETELY. A new attitude is brought by A coach on making a statement, and this being a match, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to hope the Irish will take them and not have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with the blue and gold is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also when dishing out 20 or more specimens, a mere 7-9-1 ATS. That defense you mentioned may improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, whenever you dont/can not recruit like Bama or Clemson, it is going to take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because though you have an impressive handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, because Louisville could be better compared to last season but I would submit that they could be coached by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their record rendered by an equally inept trainer like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly three touchdowns on the street would be square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but on occasion the general public is correct, and in this case they are. Until next week when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
