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 selections and then I shall deviate from our regularly scheduled program of NFL discussion to dip our feet.
It will most likely be the first and only time this season we do so, as the previous week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season game of NCAA football featuring one of the very best teams in the country, and a legendary soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a bet about the Steelers while the Titans were supported by me. Weve been swapping wins back and on so it appears like it is my turn to get the wreath, as I will accompany all the squares putting the thick lumber on a road favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days prior to the Monday night event, I see that the line has spiked a half-point about the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its now offered in a solid -20 round the board at all the best internet sportsbooks.
I love the Irish but youre leaning to the Cardinals. Other than the venue, why do you think Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes and a win IMO, it said a great deal about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Let us move to football, will our records with this one and where the games count.
Remember all those Thursday night games Louisville utilized to play against competitions? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games to see and the Cardinals were an club.
However, just like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville football last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out to alter the culture and win games and worked wonders in Appalachian State. This wont happen immediately as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a group that has the opportunity.
I have read where the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall as the direct running back. The shield which makes me more nervous than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. You have your Irish up please dont forget.
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 in the big leagues and he has a group this past year, in which they went winless in ACC activity coming off of a dismal 2-10 record. This rebuild is akin to taking a hot air balloon and seeking to turn it.
While this may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a team that made it to the CFP this past year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders as well, averaging 33 points per match over.
My issue is, how can be a quarterback like traveling who is slow to release, designed to gain some traction against a swarming defense? Especially when he is working with a new coach and an entirely new offensive scheme?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep up and Im desperate for your sage wisdom and handicapping experience that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to read in your last sentence you are coming around to the glowing side of sport betting, or you are just being the exact wise a** you are. I will allow the SBR readers that are currently making this is decided on by college football selections. I am the first to understand Louisville sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 last year.
Like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons but coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that team COMPLETELY. A new attitude is brought by A new trainer and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on building a statement this being a match. Louisville does have to hope never and the Irish will take them for granted have a lot of fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly with gold and all the blue is ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS, when dishing out 20 or more specimens. That defense you said may improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, if you dont/can not amuse like Bama or Clemson, it will take time.
I was a bit facetious because though you have an impressive handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this case, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville could be better compared to last year but Id submit that they are coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their document rendered by an trainer such as Petrino.
I know that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the road would be square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but at times the people is correct, and in this instance they are. Until next week once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday once the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
