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 picks on the Monday night match between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and I will detract to dip our feet.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this year we do this, as the last week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season game of NCAA soccer comprising one of the best clubs in the country, plus a legendary football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a bet on the Steelers while the Titans were backed by me. We have been placing wins on and back so it looks like it is my turn to get the wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will follow all the squares putting the thick lumber on a street favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days ahead of this Monday night affair, I see the line has jeopardized a half-point on the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered at a solid -20 round the board whatsoever of the best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I love the Irish but youre currently leaning onto the Cardinals within this season-opening battle. Besides the venue is it that you believe Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup a successful win and at least IMO, said a lot about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Let us move ahead to real soccer, where the games rely and so will our records on this one.
Recall Louisville used to perform against competitions? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were fun games to watch and also the Cardinals were an club.
But such as the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its phony (in real life) owner, Louisville football last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles and are out win matches and to alter the culture. This wont happen right away because the ability level is down in theVille. This is a big time for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity to start taking steps in the ideal direction.
Ive read where the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall since the direct running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the shield which makes me more nervous. Please do tell why youve got up your Irish.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much flying into this game as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a team last year, in which they went winless in ACC action coming from a dismal 2-10 album. This rebuild is comparable to carrying a hot air balloon and trying to turn it.
While this may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a team that made it to the CFP this past year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders as well, averaging over 33 points per match.
So, my query is, how can be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to release, designed to obtain some traction against a swarming defense that is Irish? Particularly when he is working with a new coach and an offensive scheme that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep pace with this Golden Domers and Im desperate for handicapping experience that is prodigious and the sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to see in your last sentence youre coming over to the glowing side of sport gambling, or youre just being the same wise a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers that are making that is decided on by college football selections. I am the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 and sucked last season.
Just like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A trainer brings a new attitude on building a statement and with this being a federal match, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to trust not and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have much fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with gold and the blue is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also when dishing out 20 or more specimens, a mere 7-9-1 ATS. This defense you mentioned may improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, whenever you dont/can not recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it will take some time.
I was a bit facetious because though youve got an impressive handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this scenario, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville might be greater compared to last year but I would submit that they are trained with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their record rendered by an inept trainer like Petrino.
I understand that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the road is square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but on occasion the people is right, and also in this situation 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 once the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
