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 picks on the Monday night game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and also I shall detract from our regularly scheduled program of NFL discussion to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will probably be the very first and only time this season we do so, as the previous week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the top teams in the country, plus a legendary soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while the Titans were supported by me. Weve been swapping wins forth and back so it looks like its my turn to the wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will follow the squares putting the thick lumber on a public street 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 on the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its presently offered at a solid -20 across the board whatsoever the best internet sportsbooks.
You are currently leaning onto the Cardinals within this season-opening battle although doug, I love the Irish. Other than the place is it that you believe Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup , Swinger, at least and a triumph IMO, said a great deal about the Steelers and Titans management. Lets proceed to soccer, in which the games count and will our recordings with this one.
Recall all those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to play against competitions? They more than held their own and engineered several upsets. These were enjoyable games and the Cardinals were an exciting club.
However, like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out win games and to alter the civilization and worked miracles. This wont happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a group that has the opportunity.
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 like Hassan Hall because the direct running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins the shield, well, that makes me more nervous. Why you have up your Irish, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much flying in this game as the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and he has a group last year, in which they went winless in ACC activity coming off of a dismal 2-10 album. This rebuild is comparable to trying to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and taking a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a team which made it into the CFP last year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per match.
So, my query is, how can be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to discharge, designed to gain some traction against a Irish shield? Especially when he is working with a trainer and an offensive strategy that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to have the ability to keep pace with the Golden Domers and I am desperate to your ancestral wisdom and prodigious handicapping experience!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad 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 usually are. I will let the SBR readers that are making college football picks decide on this. I am the first to realize Louisville sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 last year.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons, but that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new trainer brings a new attitude on making a statement, and this being a national game, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to hope never and the Irish will take them have much fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with gold and the blue is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS, when dishing out more or 20 digits. That defense you said may improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, when you dont/can not amuse like Clemson or Bama, it is going to take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because though youve got an impressive handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, because Louisville could be greater compared to last year but Id submit that they are coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable record left by an equally awkward coach such as Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that placing nearly three touchdowns on the street would be square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but at times the public is correct, and also in this case they surely are. Until next week once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
