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 Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and that I will detract to dip our feet.
It will almost certainly be the very first and only time this season we do so, as the last week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season game of NCAA soccer featuring one of the greatest clubs in the country, and a legendary football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while the Titans were endorsed by me. Weve been placing wins forth and back so it appears like it is my turn for the wreath, as I will accompany the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a public street favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days ahead of the Monday night affair, I see the line has spiked a half-point about the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered in a solid -20 round the board at all of the very best online sportsbooks.
I enjoy the Irish but youre currently leaning on the Cardinals. Apart from the place is it that you think Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup at least and a triumph IMO, said a lot about the Steelers and Titans direction. Lets move to football, so will our records on this one and in which the matches count.
Remember Louisville used to play against competitions? They more than held their own and engineered several upsets. These were enjoyable games and the Cardinals were an golf club.
But like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders and are out to change the culture and win matches. This will not happen right away as the talent level is down in theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a team which has the chance.
I have read where the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall since the lead running back. The shield that makes me more worried than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. You have your Irish up please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much flying in this game since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a team coming off of a dismal 2-10 album where they went winless in ACC activity last year. This rebuild is akin to taking a hot air balloon and attempting to turn it into an F-22 Raptor.
While this may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is facing a team which made it to the CFP this past year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders averaging 33 points per match over.
My question is, how will be a quarterback like traveling who is slow to discharge, supposed to get some traction against a swarming defense that is Irish? Particularly when hes working with a coach and an offensive scheme that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville will be able to keep up and I am desperate to handicapping experience that is prodigious and the ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to see in your last sentence youre coming around to the sunny side of sport gambling, or youre simply being the identical wise a** you are. Ill allow the SBR readers that are making school football selections decide on this. Im the first to understand Louisville sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 last season.
Just like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons but that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A fresh attitude is brought by A new trainer on building a statement and with this being a match, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to hope not and the Irish will take them for granted have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly using all the gold and blue is only 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS, when dishing out more or 20 specimens. That defense you said might improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, even if 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 you have an handicapping that was impressive resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this event, because Louisville might be better than last year but I would submit that they are coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their record rendered by an equally inept coach such as Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that placing nearly three touchdowns on the street would be square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but sometimes the people is right, and also in this case they certainly are. Until next week once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday when the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
