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 picks and that I shall deviate from our regularly scheduled program of NFL debate to dip our toes into uncharted waters.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this year we do this, as the previous week of exhibition NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season game of NCAA soccer featuring one of the very best teams in the country, plus a legendary soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a wager on the Steelers while the Titans were backed by me. Weve been placing wins back and on so it appears like its my turn for the golden wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will accompany all the squares laying the heavy lumber onto a street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days before this Monday night event, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point on the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is presently offered at a solid -20 throughout the board at all of the very best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but youre currently leaning in this season-opening battle to the Cardinals. Besides the venue is it that you think Louisville can hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup at least and a triumph IMO, it said a lot about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Lets proceed to real soccer, in which the matches rely and so will our records on this one.
Remember those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to play against competitions that are big-name? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games to watch and also the Cardinals were an club.
However, like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out to change the culture and win matches and worked wonders. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a huge moment for Louisville, a team which has the chance to start taking steps in the perfect direction.
Ive read in which the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall as the direct running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the defense which makes me more nervous. Please do tell why you have up your Irish.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest flying into this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a group coming off of a dismal 2-10 album in which they went winless in ACC action this past year. This rebuild is comparable to taking a hot air balloon and attempting to turn it into an F-22 Raptor.
While that may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is facing a group that made it to the CFP last year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders averaging 33 points per match over.
So, my question is, how is a quarterback like Pass whos slow to release, designed to obtain any traction against a Irish shield? Particularly when he is working with a new trainer and an entirely new offensive strategy?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to have the ability to keep up and I am desperate to prodigious handicapping expertise and your brand new wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im happy to see in your last sentence youre coming over to the bright side of sports gambling, or youre just being the exact wise a** you usually are. I will let the SBR readers who are currently making school football selections decide on this. Im the first to understand Louisville was not only 2-10, however, 1-11 ATS and fully pumped final year.
Just like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that staff COMPLETELY. A new mindset is brought by A trainer and this being a match, Satterfield will market his team on making a statement. Louisville does need to trust they will not be taken by the Irish for granted and never have much fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly with the gold and blue is ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS if dishing out 20 or more digits. This defense you mentioned might improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, even whenever you dont/cant recruit like Bama or Clemson, it will take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this scenario, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville could be better than last year but I would submit that they could be trained by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable document rendered by an equally inept trainer like Petrino.
I understand that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the street would be square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but sometimes the public is right, and in this situation they surely are. Until when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
