Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and I shall deviate to dip our toes and then render our school football picks.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this year we do this, as the previous week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season game of NCAA football comprising one of the best teams in the nation, plus a mythical soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a bet on the Steelers while the Titans were endorsed by me. Weve been swapping wins on and back so it looks like its my turn to get the wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will accompany the squares putting the thick lumber onto a public street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days ahead of the Monday night event, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point about the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered at a solid -20 across the board at all of the best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I enjoy the Irish but you are leaning in this battle onto the Cardinals. Apart from the place, why is it that you think Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup at least and a win IMO, it said a lot about the Steelers and Titans management. Lets proceed to football, will our recordings on this one and in which the matches rely.
Remember Louisville used to perform against opponents? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games to watch and the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
However, like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out win matches and to change the culture and worked miracles at Appalachian State. This will not happen immediately as the talent level is down from theVille. Yet this is a time for Louisville, a group that has the chance to begin taking steps in the right direction.
I have read where the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall since the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the defense, well, that makes me more worried. You have your Irish up please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much flying in this game since the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a team this past year, where they went winless in ACC action coming off of a dismal 2-10 album. This rebuild is akin to seeking to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and carrying a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is facing a group which made it into the CFP this past year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders also, averaging over 33 points per game.
So, my issue is, how is a quarterback like traveling who is slow to discharge, supposed to gain any traction against a swarming Irish shield? Particularly when hes working with an offensive scheme that is entirely new and a coach?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville will have the ability to keep pace with the Golden Domers and Im desperate to your sage wisdom and handicapping expertise!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to see in your last sentence you are coming around to the glowing side of sport betting, or youre just being the exact same wise a** you are. I will allow the SBR readers who are currently making school football selections decide on that. I am the first to realize Louisville was, however, 1-11 ATS and fully pumped final season.
Like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that staff COMPLETELY. A new attitude is brought by A coach and his team will be sold by Satterfield on building a statement, this being a national game. Louisville does need to trust they will not be taken by the Irish and not have much fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly with gold and the blue is ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS if dishing out 20 or more digits. This defense you said might improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, even if you dont/cant recruit like Bama or Clemson, it will take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was a bit facetious because though you have an impressive handicapping restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this scenario, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville might be greater but Id submit that they could be trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable document left by an equally inept coach like Petrino.
I know that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the road is square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but at times the general public is correct, and also in this situation they 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.
