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 selections on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then I shall detract to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will probably be the first and only time this season we do so, as the last week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season game of NCAA football comprising one of the best teams in the country, plus a mythical soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a wager on the Steelers while the Titans were endorsed by me. Weve been placing wins forth and back so it looks like its my turn to the golden wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will follow each of the squares laying the heavy lumber onto a road favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days prior to this Monday night affair, I see that the line has spiked a half-point about the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its presently offered in a solid -20 across the board at all of the very best internet sportsbooks.
You are currently leaning onto the Cardinals although I love the Irish. Other than the place do you think Louisville could hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: YesSwinger, and a successful triumph IMO, said a great deal about the management of both the Steelers and Titans. Lets move to football, where the games rely and so will our recordings with this one.
Recall Louisville used to perform against competitions? They held their own and engineered several upsets. These were enjoyable games to watch and also the Cardinals were an exciting club.
But like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out to change the civilization and win games and worked miracles in Appalachian State. This will not happen immediately as the talent level is down in theVille. Yet , this is a significant time for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity.
Ive read in which the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall since the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins the shield that makes me more worried. Why you have your Irish up please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing flying in this game since the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest. Scott Satterfield is now in the big leagues and hes got a group coming from a dismal record where they went winless in ACC activity last year. This rebuild is comparable to taking a hot air balloon and seeking to turn it into an F-22 Raptor.
While this may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is facing a team that made it into the CFP this past year and possessed 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 until they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging 33 points per match over.
My question is, how is a quarterback like Pass whos slow to release, designed to obtain some traction against a swarming Irish shield? Particularly when hes working with a new coach and an offensive strategy that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep pace and I am desperate for handicapping expertise that is prodigious and your sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im happy to see in your last sentence youre coming on to the sunny side of sport betting, or you are simply being the same wise a** you are. I will let the SBR readers who are making college football selections decide on this. Im the first to understand Louisville was, but 1-11 ATS and completely sucked last year.
Just like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons but that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new attitude is brought by A trainer and with this being a game, Satterfield will market his staff. Louisville does need to hope not 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 ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS when dishing out more or 20 digits. That defense you mentioned could improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, if you dont/cant amuse like Clemson or Bama, it is going to take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because though youve got an impressive handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, because Louisville could be better but I would submit that they could be coached by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their document rendered by an coach such as Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the road would be square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but sometimes the public is correct, and also in this situation they definitely are. Until next week when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
