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 on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then I will detract to dip our feet.
It will most likely be the first and only time this year we do this, as the last week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season sport of NCAA soccer featuring one of the top clubs in the nation, plus a legendary football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while the Titans were supported by me. We have been placing wins back and forth so it appears like its my turn to get the wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will accompany the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a public road favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly 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 it is currently offered at a solid -20 across the board at all the best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I enjoy the Irish but you are leaning on the Cardinals within this season-opening battle. Aside from the venue do you believe Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes, Swinger, at least and a win IMO, said a lot about the Steelers and Titans management. Lets proceed to soccer, so will our records on this one and where the games count.
Remember Louisville utilized to perform against competitions? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were fun games to watch and the Cardinals were a thrilling club.
However, just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders in Appalachian State and will be out to change the civilization and win matches. This wont happen immediately as the talent level is down from theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a group that has the opportunity.
Ive read where the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall since the lead running back. The shield that makes me more nervous than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. You have up your Irish please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest, flying into this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a group coming from a dismal 2-10 album last year, in which they went winless in ACC activity. This rebuild is comparable to attempting to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and carrying a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it into the CFP this past year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging 33 points per game over.
My query is, just how is a quarterback like traveling who is slow to release, supposed to get some traction against a shield? Especially when he is working with an offensive strategy and a coach?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to be able to keep up and I am desperate to handicapping expertise and the ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to read in your last sentence you are coming over to the bright side of sport gambling, or you are just being the exact identical wise a** you are. Ill let the SBR readers that are making that is decided on by college football selections. Im the first to realize Louisville completely sucked and was, but 1-11 ATS final year.
Like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons However, that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new attitude is brought by A new coach and with this being a national match, Satterfield will market his team. Louisville does have to trust not and the Irish will take them have a lot of fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly with all the gold and blue is ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS if dishing out 20 or more specimens. This defense you mentioned might improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, even when you dont/cant amuse like Bama or Clemson, it will take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this scenario, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville could be greater but I would submit that they could be coached by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their document rendered by an trainer like Petrino.
I understand that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the road is square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but at times the general public is right, and in this instance they are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
