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 selections on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then that I will deviate to dip our toes.
It will probably be the first and only time this year we do so, as the previous week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season game of NCAA football comprising one of the very best teams in the country, and a mythical soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while the Titans were backed by me. Weve been placing wins on and back so it appears like it is my turn to get the wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will accompany the squares laying the heavy lumber onto a public street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days before the Monday night affair, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point about the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered in a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever the best internet sportsbooks.
I like the Irish but youre leaning onto the Cardinals within this season-opening clash. Aside from the venue do you believe Louisville will hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup Swinger, a triumph and IMO, said a lot about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Lets move ahead to football, so will our recordings on this one and in which the matches count.
Recall Louisville utilized to perform against competitions that are big-name? They held their engineered and own several upsets. These were fun games to see and also the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
But like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) owner, Louisville football last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out to alter the culture and win matches and worked miracles. This wont happen immediately as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a huge moment for Louisville, a group which has the opportunity to start taking actions.
I have read where the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall since the direct running back. The defense, well, that makes me more nervous than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. You have your Irish up, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much 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 off of a dismal record last year where they went winless in ACC activity. This rebuild is comparable to seeking to turn it and taking a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a team which 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 fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per game.
So, my question is, just how will be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to release, supposed to obtain any traction against a Irish shield? Particularly when he is working with an offensive strategy that is entirely new and a coach?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to be able to keep up and I am desperate for the ancestral wisdom and handicapping experience that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to see in your last sentence you are coming around to the bright side of sports gambling, or you are simply being the same wise a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are making this is decided on by college football picks. I am the first to understand Louisville sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 final season.
Like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons but coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that team COMPLETELY. A new trainer brings a fresh mindset on building a statement and with this being a national match, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to trust not and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly using gold and the blue is only 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS, if dishing out 20 or more specimens. That defense you mentioned might improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, whenever you dont/cant recruit like Clemson or even Bama, it will take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, because Louisville could be better but I would submit that they are coached with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable record rendered by an inept trainer such as Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the road is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but at times the general public is correct, and also in this case they certainly are. Until next week once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday when the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
