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 match between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and then that I shall deviate to dip our feet.
It will almost certainly be the very first and only time this season we do so, as the previous week of exhibition NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season game of NCAA football featuring one of the greatest teams in the nation, and a mythical soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a bet on the Steelers while the Titans were supported by me. We have been swapping wins forth and back so it appears like it is my turn to get the wreath, as I will follow the squares putting the thick lumber onto a public road favorite and endorse the Irish.
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 favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered in a solid -20 across the board at all of the very best internet sportsbooks.
I like the Irish but you are leaning onto the Cardinals in this season-opening battle. Aside from the place, why is it that you believe Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup IMO and at least a convincing win, said a lot about the direction of both the Steelers and Titans. Let us move forward to real soccer, will our records with this one and where the games count.
Remember all those Thursday night games Louisville utilized to play against big-name opponents? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were enjoyable games to watch and the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
However, such as the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out win matches and to change the civilization and worked miracles. This will not happen right away as the ability level is down in theVille. However this is a huge time for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity.
I have read in which the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall as the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the defense, well, which makes me more nervous. Please do tell you have your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest, flying into the match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a team coming from a dismal record last year, in which they went winless. This rebuild is akin to carrying a hot air balloon and trying to turn it.
While that may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it to the CFP last year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 till they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders also, averaging 33 points per game over.
My question is, how can be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to release, supposed to obtain some traction against a swarming shield? Particularly when hes working with a trainer and an offensive scheme?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville will have the ability to keep pace and Im desperate for handicapping expertise that is prodigious and the ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am glad to read in your last sentence you are coming on to the sunny side of sports gambling, or youre just being the identical shrewd a** you are. Ill let the SBR readers who are currently making school football picks decide on that. Im the first to realize Louisville sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 final season.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons, but that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new attitude is brought by A new coach on making a statement, and with this being a federal game, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to hope never and the Irish will take them for granted have much fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with gold and the blue is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS if dishing out 20 or more digits. This defense you said may improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, even whenever you dont/can not recruit like Bama or Clemson, it will take time.
I was being a bit facetious because although you have an handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this case, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville might be greater but I would submit that they could be coached by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their record rendered by an coach like Petrino.
I understand that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the road would be square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but at times the people is correct, and in this case they certainly are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday when the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
