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 picks on the Monday night game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and that I will deviate to dip our toes.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this season we do this, as the last week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season sport of NCAA football featuring one of the best teams in the country, plus a mythical football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a bet on the Steelers while the Titans were backed by me. Weve been placing wins forth and back so it appears like it is my turn to the wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will accompany each of the squares laying the heavy lumber onto a street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days before 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 presently offered in a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever the best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I enjoy the Irish but you are currently leaning onto the Cardinals. Other than the venue is it that you think Louisville could hang with the boys in South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup Swinger, a triumph and IMO, it said a lot about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Lets move to soccer, will our records on this one and in which the games rely.
Remember Louisville used to play against big-name competitions? They more than held their own and engineered upsets. These were fun games to see and the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
But such as the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders and are out win matches and to alter the culture. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down in theVille. Nonethelessthis is a major time for Louisville, a team that has the chance to begin taking actions.
Ive read in which the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall as the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the shield which makes me more nervous. Please do tell why youve got your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing flying into this match since the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a group coming from a dismal record last year, in which they went winless. This rebuild is akin to seeking to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a team which made it into the CFP last year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 till they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders as well, averaging 33 points per game over.
My query is, how will be a quarterback like traveling who is slow to release, supposed to get any traction against a swarming defense that is Irish? Particularly when hes working with an offensive scheme that is entirely new and a new coach?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville will be able to keep pace with the Golden Domers and Im desperate for the ancestral wisdom and handicapping expertise!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im happy to see in your last sentence you are coming around to the glowing side of sport betting, or you are simply being the exact wise a** you usually are. I will allow the SBR readers that are making college football picks decide on this. I am the first to realize Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 and completely sucked final year.
However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, just like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons. A new coach brings a new attitude and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on building a statement, with this being a game. Louisville does need to trust never and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly with the gold and blue is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS if dishing out more or 20 specimens. That defense you mentioned may improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, even when you dont/cant recruit like Clemson or even Bama, it will take some time.
I was becoming a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this event, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville might be better than last year but I would submit that they could be trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their record rendered by an coach like Petrino.
I understand that laying nearly three touchdowns on the road would be square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the public is correct, and in this case they certainly are. Until next week once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday when the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
