Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our school football selections and I shall deviate from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL debate to dip our toes.
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 in comparison to a regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the greatest clubs in the country, and a mythical football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a bet on the Steelers while I endorsed the Titans. We have been placing wins on and back so it looks like it is my turn to the golden wreath, as I will accompany each of the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a public road favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days before this Monday night event, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point on the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered at a solid -20 across the board whatsoever the very best internet sportsbooks.
Youre currently leaning onto the Cardinals although I love the Irish. Besides the place is it that you think Louisville could hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: YesSwinger, a win and at least IMO, said a great deal about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Lets proceed to football, will our records with this one and in which the games rely.
Remember Louisville used to perform against big-name opponents? They held their own and engineered several upsets. These were enjoyable games to watch and the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
But like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out to change the civilization and win games and worked miracles in Appalachian State. This wont happen right away as the talent level is down in theVille. However this is a huge moment for Louisville, a team which has the chance.
I have read in which the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall because the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the defense that makes me more worried. Why you have up your Irish, please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is now in the big leagues and he has a group this past year, where they went winless in ACC action coming off of a dismal album. This rebuild is comparable to carrying a hot air balloon and seeking to turn it.
While that may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is facing a group which made it into the CFP last year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders averaging 33 points per match over.
So, my issue is, just how can be a quarterback like traveling who is slow to release, supposed to get any traction against a swarming defense that is Irish? Particularly when hes working with a completely new offensive strategy and a new coach?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville will have the ability to keep up and I am desperate for prodigious handicapping expertise and the brand new wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to read in your last sentence you are coming on to the sunny side of sports gambling, or youre just being the identical shrewd a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers that are currently making this is decided on by school football selections. Im the first to realize Louisville was, however 1-11 ATS and completely sucked last season.
Like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that staff COMPLETELY. A fresh attitude is brought by A new coach on making a statement and with this being a federal game, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to trust they will not be taken by the Irish for granted and not have much fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly using gold and all the blue is only 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS when dishing out more or 20 digits. This defense you mentioned may improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, even when you dont/can not recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it will take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping that was impressive restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville could be better but I would submit that they could be coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable record left by an coach like Petrino.
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 sometimes the general public is correct, and also in this instance they are. Until when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week next week, let us see what happens on Monday once the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
