Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and that I shall deviate from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL discussion to dip our toes into uncharted waters and render our college football picks.
It will almost certainly be the very first and only time this year we do this, as the previous week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season sport of NCAA football comprising one of the top teams in the country, plus a mythical soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a bet about the Steelers while the Titans were supported by me. We have been placing wins back and forth so it looks like it is my turn to get the wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will accompany the squares putting the thick lumber onto a public street favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days before the Monday night event, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point about the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is presently offered in a solid -20 across the board at all of the very best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I enjoy the Irish but youre leaning onto the Cardinals. Besides the venue do you think Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes at least and a successful win IMO, said a great deal about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Let us move ahead to football, where the games rely and so will our recordings with this one.
Recall those Thursday night matches Louisville used to play against competitions? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were enjoyable games and also the Cardinals were an exciting club.
However, for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out win matches and to alter the culture and worked miracles. This will not 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 steps.
Ive read where the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall because the lead running back. The shield, well, which makes me more worried than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. Please do tell youve got your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much flying into this match as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest. Scott Satterfield is now in the big leagues and he has a group coming off of a dismal 2-10 album last year where they went winless in ACC activity. This rebuild is comparable to trying to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a group that made it into the CFP last year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging 33 points per match over.
My issue is, just how can be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to release, supposed to get any traction against a swarming shield? Particularly when he is working with a coach and an offensive strategy?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to be able to keep pace with this Golden Domers and I am desperate for the ancestral wisdom and prodigious handicapping expertise!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to see in your last sentence youre coming on to the glowing side of sports gambling, or you are just being the exact same wise a** you are. I will let the SBR readers that are currently making college football selections decide on that. I am the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 and sucked final season.
However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, just like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons. A fresh attitude is brought by A coach on making a statement and this being a federal match, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to hope not and the Irish will take them have much fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly using the blue and gold is ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS, if dishing out more or 20 digits. That defense you mentioned might improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, if you dont/cant recruit like Bama or Clemson, it is going to take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, because Louisville might be better compared to last year but Id submit that they are trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their record left by an equally inept coach like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the road is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but at times the people is right, and also in this case they 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 ready to squint at Louisville.
