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 to dip our feet into uncharted waters and also render our school football selections.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this year we do so, as the previous week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season sport of NCAA football comprising one of the very best clubs in the nation, and a mythical football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a bet about the Steelers while I supported the Titans. We have been swapping wins back and forth so it looks like its my turn for the wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will follow all the squares putting the thick lumber on a public street favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days before this Monday night affair, I see the line has spiked a half-point about the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered at a solid -20 across the board at all of the very best internet sportsbooks.
I enjoy the Irish but you are leaning on the Cardinals within this season-opening battle. Other than the place, why is it that you think Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: YesSwinger, and a convincing win IMO, said a great deal about the Steelers and Titans management. Let us proceed to real soccer, where the games count and will our records on this one.
Recall all those Thursday night matches Louisville used to play against opponents? They more than held their own and engineered upsets. These were fun games and the Cardinals were an golf club.
However, such as the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its counterfeit (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders at Appalachian State and are out to alter the culture and win matches. This wont happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. Nonetheless, this is a time for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity.
Ive read in which the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall since the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the shield that makes me more nervous. Please do tell why youve got your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing flying in this game as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a team this past year, in which they went winless coming off of a dismal 2-10 record. This rebuild is comparable to seeking to turn it and taking a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a team which made it to the CFP this past year and possessed one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders as well, averaging 33 points per game over.
My query is, just how is a quarterback like traveling who is slow to release, designed to gain some traction against a swarming defense that is Irish? Especially when he is working with an offensive strategy and a brand new coach?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep up and Im desperate to handicapping expertise that is prodigious and the brand new wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to see in your last sentence youre coming over to the sunny side of sport betting, or you are simply being the exact same wise a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are making this is decided on by college football selections. I am the first to realize Louisville completely sucked and was, but 1-11 ATS last season.
However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, like he composed to the Atlanta Falcons. A new coach brings a new mindset and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on making a statement, with this being a match. Louisville does have to trust the Irish will take them for granted and not have much fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly with the gold and blue is ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS, when dishing out 20 or more specimens. This defense you said may improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, if you dont/can not amuse like Clemson or Bama, it will take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, because Louisville might be greater than last year but I would submit that they could be coached by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable document rendered by an equally inept trainer like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the street would be square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but on occasion the general public is correct, and in this case they are. Until next week when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday once the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
