Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at 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 that I will deviate to dip our toes.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this year we do this, 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 top teams in the nation, and a mythical football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a bet about the Steelers while the Titans were endorsed by me. Weve been swapping wins on and back so it appears like its my turn to get the gold wreath, as I will accompany the squares putting the thick lumber onto a road favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days before the Monday night event, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point on the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its presently offered at a solid -20 throughout the board at all the best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I love the Irish but youre leaning within this season-opening battle on the Cardinals. Other than the place, why do you believe Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes, Swinger, IMO and a successful triumph, it said a lot about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Lets move to real football, where the matches rely and will our recordings with this one.
Remember those Thursday night games Louisville utilized to perform against opponents? They more than held their own and engineered upsets. These were fun games to see and the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
However, like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its counterfeit (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles and are out win games and to change the civilization. This wont happen right away as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a team which has the opportunity to begin taking steps.
Ive read in which the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall as the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the defense which makes me more worried. Please do tell why youve got your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest, flying into this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a team coming off of a dismal 2-10 record last year, in which they went winless in ACC action. This rebuild is akin to trying to turn it and taking a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a team that made it to the CFP last year and possessed 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 Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging 33 points per match over.
So, my question is, how can be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to release, supposed to gain some traction against a swarming shield that is Irish? Particularly when hes working with a new trainer and a completely new offensive strategy?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to be able to keep pace with this Golden Domers and I am desperate to the ancestral wisdom and handicapping expertise that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to see in your last sentence youre coming over to the glowing side of sport gambling, or youre simply being the exact shrewd a** you usually are. I will let the SBR readers that are making this is decided on by school football selections. Im the first to realize Louisville was not only 2-10, however, 1-11 ATS and sucked last year.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A trainer brings a fresh attitude and his team will be sold by Satterfield on creating a statement this being a match. Louisville does need to trust never and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly with gold and the blue is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS, when dishing out more or 20 specimens. This defense you said might improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, if you dont/cant recruit like Bama or Clemson, it is going to take time.
I was being a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this case, because Louisville could be better than last year but I would submit that they could be trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable document left by an coach such as Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that putting nearly three touchdowns on the highway is square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but at times the public is right, and also in this situation they are. Until when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday once the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
