Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our college football picks and then also that I will detract to dip our feet.
It will probably be the very first and only time this year we do so, as the previous week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season game of NCAA soccer featuring one of the best clubs in the nation, plus a mythical soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while I supported the Titans. Weve been swapping wins on and back so it appears like its my turn for the wreath, as I will follow the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a public road favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days ahead of the Monday night affair, I see that the line has spiked a half-point on the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered in a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever of the best online sportsbooks.
I love the Irish but you are leaning on the Cardinals. Apart from the venue do you think Louisville could hang with the boys in South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup at least and a successful triumph IMO, it said a great deal about the Steelers and Titans direction. Let us proceed to soccer, will our records on this one and where the games rely.
Recall all those Thursday night games Louisville used to perform against big-name competitions? They held their own and engineered many upsets. These were fun games to see and the Cardinals were an club.
But like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders and will be out win matches and to change the culture. This wont happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. Yet this is a time for Louisville, a group which has the opportunity.
I have read in which the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall as the lead running back. The protection, well, that makes me more nervous than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. Please do tell you have up your Irish.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much flying in this game since the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a group this past year, in which they went winless coming off of a dismal 2-10 album. This rebuild is comparable to taking a hot air balloon and trying to turn it in an F-22 Raptor.
While that may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a team that made it to the CFP this past year and owned 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 until they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders also, averaging over 33 points per match.
My question is, how can be a quarterback like traveling who is slow to release, designed to obtain any traction against a Irish defense? Particularly when hes working with a coach 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 up and I am desperate for the ancestral wisdom and handicapping experience!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am glad to see in your last sentence youre coming over to the glowing side of sports betting, or youre just being the identical shrewd a** you usually are. I will allow the SBR readers that are making that is decided on by school football picks. Im the first to realize Louisville completely sucked and was, but 1-11 ATS last season.
Just like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons but coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that team COMPLETELY. A new trainer brings a fresh attitude on making a statement and this being a federal match, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to hope never and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly with the blue and gold is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also when dishing out 20 or more digits, a mere 7-9-1 ATS. That defense you said might improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, even whenever you dont/can not recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it will take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping that was impressive resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this scenario, because Louisville could be better than last year but I would submit that they are coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable document left by an coach like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly three touchdowns on the road would be square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the general public is right, and in this case they certainly are. Until when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week next week, let us see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
