Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and that I shall detract from our regularly scheduled program of NFL debate to dip our feet and then render our school football picks on the Monday night game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this year we do so, as the previous week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season game of NCAA soccer comprising one of the top teams in the country, and a mythical football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while I backed the Titans. We have been placing wins forth and back so it appears like it is my turn for the golden wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will accompany the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a public street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days prior to this Monday night event, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point about the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its now offered at a solid -20 across the board at all the very best online sportsbooks.
I like the Irish but youre leaning within this season-opening battle onto the Cardinals. Aside from the venue, why do you think Louisville will hang with the boys in South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yes a convincing triumph and at least IMO, said a lot about the Steelers and Titans management. Let us move to soccer, so will our records on this one and in which the games rely.
Recall those Thursday night games Louisville used to perform against opponents? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were enjoyable games to watch and the Cardinals were an golf club.
However, like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles and will be out win matches and to change the civilization. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. Nonethelessthis is a huge time for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity to start taking actions.
Ive read where the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall as the direct running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the shield, well, which makes me more worried. You have up your Irish, please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest, flying in this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a group coming off of a dismal 2-10 record last year in which they went winless in ACC action. This rebuild is akin to attempting to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and taking a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a team which made it into the CFP last year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per match.
My issue is, just how can be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to discharge, designed to get any traction against a swarming defense? Especially when hes working with a completely new offensive scheme and a coach?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville will be able to keep pace and Im desperate for handicapping expertise and the ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to see in your last sentence you are coming over to the glowing side of sport betting, or youre simply being the same shrewd a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are currently making this is decided on by school football selections. I am the first to realize Louisville sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 final year.
Like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons However, that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A fresh attitude is brought by A new trainer and with this being a game, Satterfield will sell his staff on building a statement. Louisville does have to hope they will not be taken by the Irish and not have much fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly using gold and all the blue is ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS if dishing out more or 20 digits. That defense you mentioned might improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, even if you dont/cant recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it is going to take time.
I was becoming a bit facetious because though youve got an impressive handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this event, because Louisville could be greater than last year but I would submit that they could be coached with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable document left by an coach like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the street is square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the general public is correct, and also in this situation they surely are. Until next week once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday when the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
