Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our school football selections on the Monday night game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then I will deviate to dip our feet.
It will probably be the first and only time this year we do this, as the previous week of exhibition NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season game of NCAA soccer comprising one of the best teams in the country, and a mythical football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while I backed the Titans. We have been swapping wins back and on so it appears like its my turn for the wreath, as I will accompany all the squares laying the heavy lumber onto a public street favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days ahead of the Monday night affair, I see that the line has spiked a half-point about the preferred, starting 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.
Doug, I like the Irish but youre currently leaning in this season-opening clash onto the Cardinals. Other than the place, why is it that you think Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup Swinger, at least and a win IMO, it said a great deal about both the Steelers and Titans management. Lets move ahead to real football, so will our recordings with this one and in which the matches count.
Remember those Thursday night matches Louisville accustomed to perform against opponents? They held their own and engineered several upsets. These were fun games to watch and the Cardinals were an golf club.
However, just like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its phony (in real life) owner, Louisville football last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders in Appalachian State and will be out win games and to alter the culture. This will not happen right away as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a time for Louisville, a group that has the chance to start taking steps.
Ive read where the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good 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 that makes me more worried. Please do tell youve got up your Irish.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest flying into this game. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and he has a team coming from a dismal record where they went winless in ACC action this past year. This rebuild is akin to attempting to turn it in an F-22 Raptor and taking a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is facing a group that made it into the CFP last year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, equaling only 17.2 points within the normal season and heading a perfect 12-0 till they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders averaging 33 points per match over.
My query is, how can be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to discharge, designed to gain some traction against a shield? Particularly when hes working with a new coach and an offensive strategy that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will be able to keep pace and Im desperate to your brand new wisdom and handicapping experience that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to see in your last sentence youre coming over to the sunny side of sport gambling, or youre just being the exact same shrewd a** you are. I will allow the SBR readers that are making school football picks decide on that. I am the first to understand Louisville sucked and was, however 1-11 ATS last season.
Like he composed to the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that team COMPLETELY. A trainer brings a new attitude on making a statement and this being a match, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to expect never and the Irish will take them for granted have much fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly using gold and all the blue is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also if dishing out 20 or more specimens, a ATS. This defense you said may improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, if you dont/cant amuse like Clemson or even Bama, it is going to take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this case, because Louisville could be better compared to last season but I would submit that they are trained by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their document left by an trainer like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the street is square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but on occasion the general public is right, and also in this situation they certainly are. Until next week when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
