Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our college football picks on the Monday night game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and also that I shall detract to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this year we do so, as the last week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season game of NCAA football comprising one of the best clubs in the country, and a legendary football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while I supported the Titans. We have been placing wins back and on so it appears like it is my turn to the wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will accompany all the squares laying the lumber onto a road favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly 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 throughout the board whatsoever of the very best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I enjoy the Irish but you are leaning within this season-opening clash on the Cardinals. Besides the venue do you believe Louisville could hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yes a win and IMO, said a lot about the Steelers and Titans management. Lets move ahead to soccer, will our records on this one and in which the matches rely.
Remember Louisville utilized to play against competitions? They held their engineered and own many upsets. These were fun games and also the Cardinals were a thrilling club.
However, like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) owner, Louisville football last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders and will be out win matches and to alter the culture. This will not happen right away as the talent level is down from theVille. However , this is a huge moment for Louisville, a team that has the chance to begin taking actions in the perfect direction.
Ive read in which the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall as the direct running back. The shield, well, that makes me more worried than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. Please do tell you have your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest, flying in this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a team coming from a dismal record this past year where they went winless. This rebuild is comparable to carrying a hot air balloon and attempting to turn it.
While this may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is facing a group that made it into the CFP this past year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per game.
My question is, how will be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to release, designed to gain some traction against a swarming shield? Especially when he is working with a new trainer and an offensive scheme?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to be able to keep pace and Im desperate for the brand new wisdom and prodigious handicapping expertise!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to see in your last sentence youre coming on to the bright side of sports betting, or you are simply being the exact identical shrewd a** you are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are currently making that is decided on by college football picks. I am the first to realize Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 and completely sucked final year.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that team COMPLETELY. A new coach brings a fresh mindset and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on creating a statement, with this being a game. Louisville does have to hope never and the Irish will take them have much fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly with gold and the blue is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and when dishing out 20 or more specimens, a ATS. This defense you said may improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, even if you dont/can not recruit like Bama or Clemson, it will take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because although you have an handicapping restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, because Louisville could be greater but I would submit that they are coached by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their record left by an awkward coach such as Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the road would be square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but on occasion the general public is right, and in this instance they definitely are. Until next week when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday when the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
