Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our college football picks on the Monday night game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and then also that I will deviate to dip our toes.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this season we do this, as the previous week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the best teams in the nation, plus a legendary soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a bet on the Steelers while I endorsed the Titans. We have been placing wins back and on so it looks like it is my turn for the wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will accompany each of the squares putting the thick lumber onto a street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days before the Monday night event, I see that the line has spiked a half-point on the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered at a solid -20 round the board whatsoever of the best internet sportsbooks.
You are currently leaning on the Cardinals in this season-opening clash although I enjoy the Irish. Aside from the place, why is it that you think Louisville can hang with the boys in South Bend?
Doug Upstone: YesSwinger, IMO and at least a successful win, it said a lot about the Steelers and Titans direction. Lets move to real soccer, where the matches count and so will our recordings on this one.
Remember Louisville used to play against big-name opponents? They more than held their own and engineered upsets. These were fun games to watch and the Cardinals were an exciting club.
But for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out win games and to change the culture and worked tirelessly in Appalachian State. This wont happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a time for Louisville, a group with the chance to start taking actions.
I have read where the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall because the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the shield, well, which makes me more nervous. You have your Irish up, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much since the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a group this past year, in which they went winless in ACC action coming off of a dismal album. This rebuild is comparable to attempting to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a team that made it to the CFP this past year and possessed one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging 33 points per game over.
So, my question is, how can be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to release, supposed to get some traction against a swarming shield? Particularly when hes working with an offensive scheme that is entirely new and a trainer?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep up with the Golden Domers and Im desperate for your brand new wisdom and handicapping experience that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to read in your last sentence youre coming around to the sunny side of sport gambling, or you are just being the exact shrewd a** you usually are. I will let the SBR readers that are currently making college football picks decide on this. Im the first to understand Louisville fully pumped and wasnt only 2-10, however 1-11 ATS last year.
But that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons. A new attitude is brought by A coach and his team will be sold by Satterfield on making a statement, this being a match. Louisville does have to trust the Irish will accept them for granted and also not have much fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly using the blue and gold is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS, when dishing out more or 20 digits. This defense you said may improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, when you dont/cant recruit like Clemson or even Bama, it will take time.
I was a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping that was impressive resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this instance, because Louisville could be greater compared to last year but I would submit that they are trained with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their record rendered by an inept trainer like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that placing 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 correct, 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 when the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
