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 Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and then also that I shall detract to dip our feet.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this year we do this, as the last week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the best clubs in the country, plus a legendary soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while I supported the Titans. Weve been placing wins back and forth so it appears like its my turn for the gold wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will follow the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a road favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days before the Monday night affair, I see that the line has spiked a half-point on the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its presently offered at a solid -20 across the board at all the best internet sportsbooks.
Youre currently leaning onto the Cardinals in this clash although doug, I enjoy the Irish. Besides the venue do you think Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup IMO and at least a convincing triumph, it said a great deal about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Let us move ahead to soccer, in which the matches rely and will our recordings on this one.
Recall Louisville utilized to perform against big-name opponents? They held their engineered and own many upsets. These were fun games and the Cardinals were an club.
However, just 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 worked miracles and are out to change the civilization and win games. This wont happen right away as the talent level is down from theVille. This is a time for Louisville, a team which has the opportunity.
Ive read where the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall as the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins the defense, well, that makes me more nervous. Why you have your Irish up, please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much flying in this match since the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and hes got a team coming off of a dismal album this past year, where they went winless in ACC action. This rebuild is comparable to carrying a hot air balloon and attempting to turn it into an F-22 Raptor.
While that may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is facing 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 within the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense has been clicking on all cylinders also, averaging over 33 points per match.
So, my question is, just how will be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to discharge, supposed to get any traction against a swarming defense that is Irish? Especially when he is working with a trainer and an offensive scheme?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to have the ability to keep up and I am desperate for the sage wisdom and handicapping experience!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to see in your last sentence you are coming around to the glowing side of sports gambling, or you are simply being the exact wise a** you are. I will allow the SBR readers who are currently making college football picks decide on that. I am the first to realize Louisville completely sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 last season.
Just like he gave up to the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that staff COMPLETELY. A fresh attitude is brought by A coach on creating a statement and this being a federal game, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need 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 all the blue and gold is only 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS, if dishing out 20 or more specimens. This defense you mentioned may improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, whenever you dont/cant amuse like Bama or Clemson, it is going to take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because although you have an impressive handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville might be greater than last year but I would submit that they are trained by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable document left by an inept trainer such as Petrino.
I understand that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the road would be square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but on occasion the public is right, and also in this instance they really are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week next week, lets see what happens on Monday once the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
