Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our college football picks on the Monday night game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then I shall deviate to dip our toes into uncharted waters.
It will probably be the first and only time this season we do this, as the previous week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season sport of NCAA football featuring one of the very best clubs in the country, plus a mythical soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a bet about 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 the wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will follow each of the squares laying the heavy lumber on a road favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days before this Monday night affair, I see the line has spiked a half-point about the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is presently offered at a solid -20 round the board whatsoever the best internet sportsbooks.
I like the Irish but you are leaning onto the Cardinals in this clash. Apart from the venue, why is it that you believe Louisville can hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup , Swinger, at least and a convincing triumph IMO, it said a lot about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Lets move to football, where the games count and will our records with this one.
Remember Louisville used to play against competitions? They more than held their own and engineered upsets. These were fun games and also the Cardinals were an golf club.
However, like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its phony (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out win games and to change the culture and worked miracles. This wont happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a major moment for Louisville, a group that has the chance to begin taking actions in the ideal direction.
I have read where the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall because the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the protection which makes me more worried. You have up your Irish, please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much flying in this match as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and hes got a team last year, where they went winless in ACC activity coming from a dismal album. This rebuild is akin to carrying a hot air balloon and trying to turn it into an F-22 Raptor.
While this may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is facing a group which made it into the CFP this past year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders averaging 33 points per match over.
So, my question is, how will be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to discharge, supposed to get some traction against a defense that is Irish? Particularly when hes working with an offensive scheme that is entirely new and a new trainer?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville will have the ability to keep up and I am desperate for your sage wisdom and handicapping expertise!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to read in your last sentence youre coming on to the bright side of sports gambling, or you are just being the exact shrewd a** you are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are making that is decided on by school football selections. I am the first to realize Louisville completely sucked and was not only 2-10, but 1-11 ATS last year.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons, but that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A fresh mindset is brought by A new trainer and his team will be sold by Satterfield on making a statement this being a match. Louisville does have to trust not and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with the gold and blue is only 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS if dishing out 20 or more digits. This defense you mentioned may improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, when you dont/can not amuse like Bama or even Clemson, it is going to take some time.
I was a bit facetious because though youve got an impressive handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this event, because Louisville could be greater than last year but I would submit that they could be coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their document left by an equally awkward coach such as Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that placing nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but sometimes the general public is correct, and also in this case they surely are. Until when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
