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 selections on the Monday night game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then that I will detract from our regularly scheduled program of NFL debate to dip our toes.
It will probably be the very first and only time this season we do this, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season game of NCAA football featuring one of the best teams in the nation, plus a legendary football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while the Titans were backed by me. Weve been placing wins back and on so it appears like its my turn to the golden wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will accompany each of the squares putting the thick lumber on a public street favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days prior to this Monday night affair, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point about the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered at a solid -20 round the board at all of the very best online sportsbooks.
I enjoy the Irish but you are currently leaning onto the Cardinals. Other than the place, why do you think Louisville will hang with the boys in South Bend?
Doug Upstone: YesSwinger, a triumph and at least IMO, it said a great deal about both the Steelers and Titans management. Let us move to real football, so will our recordings with this one and in which the games rely.
Remember all those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to perform against big-name opponents? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were fun games and the Cardinals were an exciting club.
But such as the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last season 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 immediately as the talent level is down in theVille. This is a huge time for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity to begin taking actions.
I have read where the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall because the direct running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the defense, well, that makes me more nervous. You have up your Irish please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest flying into this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a group last year, in which they went winless coming from a dismal 2-10 album. This rebuild is comparable to trying to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and taking a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is facing a team that made it into the CFP last year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders as well, averaging 33 points per match over.
My query is, just how can be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to discharge, supposed to obtain some traction against a swarming Irish defense? Particularly when hes working with a trainer and an offensive scheme that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to have the ability to keep pace with this Golden Domers and I am desperate for prodigious handicapping experience and the sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to see in your last sentence youre coming over to the glowing side of sport betting, or you are just being the exact identical wise a** you usually are. I will allow the SBR readers who are currently making this is decided on by college football picks. Im the first to understand Louisville sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 last year.
Like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that staff COMPLETELY. A new trainer brings a fresh attitude and with this being a national game, Satterfield will market his staff. Louisville does need to hope never and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly with the gold and blue is ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS if dishing out more or 20 digits. This defense you mentioned may improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, when you dont/can not amuse like Clemson or even Bama, it is going to take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville could be greater but I would submit that they are coached by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their record rendered by an coach like Petrino.
I know that placing nearly three touchdowns on the road would be square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but on occasion the general public is right, and also in this instance they certainly are. Until next week when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday once the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
