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 selections on the Monday night match between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and then I shall deviate to dip our feet.
It will probably be the first and only time this season we do this, as the last week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season game of NCAA football comprising one of the best clubs in the nation, and a mythical soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while I backed the Titans. Weve been swapping wins back and on so it appears like its my turn for the gold wreath, as I will accompany all the squares laying the heavy lumber on a street favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days prior to this Monday night event, I see that the line has spiked a half-point on the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered in a solid -20 across the board at all the very best internet sportsbooks.
You are currently leaning onto the Cardinals although doug, I like the Irish. Besides the place is it that you believe Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes IMO and at least a successful triumph, it said a great deal about the management of both the Steelers and Titans. Let us move to real soccer, in which the matches count and will our recordings on this one.
Remember all those Thursday night games Louisville used to perform against opponents? They held their own and engineered many upsets. These were enjoyable games and also the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
However, for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles in Appalachian State and are out to change the culture and win matches. This wont happen immediately as the talent level is down in theVille. This is a major time for Louisville, a group which has the chance to start taking actions in the ideal direction.
I have read in which the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall as the lead running back. The protection that makes me more worried than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. Please do tell youve got your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest, flying into this match. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and hes got a group coming off of a dismal 2-10 record last year in which they went winless in ACC action. This rebuild is akin to taking a hot air balloon and trying to turn it.
While that may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is facing a team that made it to the CFP this past year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per game.
My question is, just how will be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to discharge, supposed to get any traction against a swarming defense that is Irish? Particularly when hes working with a trainer and an offensive strategy that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to be able to keep pace and Im desperate for your ancestral wisdom and handicapping experience that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to see in your last sentence youre coming on to the glowing side of sport betting, or you are simply being the exact same shrewd a** you are. I will let the SBR readers that are currently making school football selections decide on this. Im the first to realize Louisville fully pumped and wasnt only 2-10, however 1-11 ATS last year.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that team COMPLETELY. A new attitude is brought by A new coach and his team will be sold by Satterfield on making a statement, with this being a national game. Louisville does need to trust never and the Irish will take them for granted have a lot of fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly with all the blue and gold is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS if dishing out more or 20 digits. That defense you said might improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, whenever you dont/cant amuse like Clemson or Bama, it is going to take time.
I was being a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping that was impressive resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, because Louisville might be greater but I would submit that they could be coached by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable record left by an equally inept coach like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the street would be square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but at times the public is correct, and in this case they certainly are. Until when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday once the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
