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 detract to dip our toes into uncharted waters and then also leave our school football selections.
It will almost certainly be the very first and only time this year we do so, as the previous week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the greatest teams in the nation, and a legendary soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a wager on the Steelers while I supported the Titans. We have been swapping wins on and back so it appears like it is my turn for the wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will accompany the squares putting the thick lumber on a street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days ahead of this Monday night event, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point about the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered in a solid -20 round the board whatsoever the best online sportsbooks.
I enjoy the Irish but youre leaning in this season-opening battle to the Cardinals. Besides the place, why do you think Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup at least and a win IMO, said a lot about the Steelers and Titans direction. Let us move to real football, will our recordings on this one and where the games count.
Recall those Thursday night matches Louisville used to play against competitions that are big-name? They held their own and engineered several upsets. These were enjoyable games to see and the Cardinals were an golf club.
However, including the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles in Appalachian State and are out win matches and to alter the culture. This will not happen right away as the talent level is down in theVille. This is a huge moment for Louisville, a group which has the opportunity.
I have 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 direct running back. The protection that makes me more worried than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. You have up your Irish, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest flying into this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a team coming off of a dismal 2-10 record last year, in which they went winless. This rebuild is akin to carrying a hot air balloon and attempting to turn it in an F-22 Raptor.
While this may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is facing a team that made it to the CFP last year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders as well, averaging 33 points per match over.
My question is, how can be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to discharge, supposed to get some traction against a swarming Irish shield? Especially when he is working with an offensive strategy that is entirely new and a new trainer?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep pace and Im desperate for the brand new wisdom and handicapping expertise that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to read in your last sentence you are coming on to the sunny side of sports gambling, or you are just being the exact wise a** you are. I will let the SBR readers who are currently making that is decided on by school football picks. I am the first to realize Louisville fully pumped and was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 last season.
But that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons. A new attitude is brought by A coach on making a statement and with this being a federal match, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to trust they will not be taken by the Irish for granted and never have a lot of fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly with the blue and gold is ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS, when dishing out more or 20 specimens. This defense you mentioned may improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, when you dont/can not recruit like Clemson or Bama, it is going to take time.
I was a bit facetious because although you have an handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this event, because Louisville could be better but I would submit that they are coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable document rendered by an trainer like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that laying nearly three touchdowns on the road is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but at times the general public is right, and in this situation they definitely are. Until next week when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday once the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
