Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our school football picks on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then also I shall detract to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this season we do this, as the previous week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season game of NCAA football featuring one of the very best clubs in the country, and a legendary soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a bet about the Steelers while I endorsed the Titans. We have been placing wins back and on so it appears like it is my turn to get the wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will accompany each of the squares laying the heavy lumber on a street favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days prior to the Monday night affair, I see that the line has spiked a half-point on the preferred, 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.
Doug, I like the Irish but you are leaning to the Cardinals in this battle. Other than the venue, why is it that you think Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes, Swinger, a win and IMO, it said a lot about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Lets move to real football, where the games rely and will our recordings on this one.
Remember those Thursday night games Louisville utilized to play against big-name competitions? They held their own and engineered many upsets. These were fun games to watch and also the Cardinals were an club.
But just like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville football last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles and will be out to change the culture and win games. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a big time for Louisville, a team that has the chance to begin taking steps.
I have read in which the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall since the direct running back. The defense that makes me more nervous than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. Why you have up your Irish, please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much as the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest flying into this match. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and he has a group coming from a dismal 2-10 record in which they went winless in ACC activity this past year. This rebuild is like trying to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and carrying a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a group that made it into the CFP last year and possessed 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 met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per game.
My query is, how can be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to release, supposed to gain some traction against a Irish defense? Especially when he is working with a new trainer and an offensive scheme that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep up and Im desperate to handicapping experience that is prodigious and your sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im happy to see in your last sentence you are coming over to the sunny side of sports gambling, or you are simply being the same wise a** you are. Ill let the SBR readers that are currently making college football selections decide on this. I am the first to realize Louisville wasnt only 2-10, but 1-11 ATS and completely sucked final season.
However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons. A fresh attitude is brought by A coach on creating a statement and this being a game, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to hope never and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with the blue and gold is ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS, when dishing out 20 or more digits. This defense you mentioned may improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, even if you dont/cant amuse like Bama or Clemson, it is going to take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was a bit facetious because although you have an handicapping restart , you miss the mark from time to time. And in this case, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville could be greater compared to last year but I would submit that they are trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable record left by an equally inept coach such as 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 gambling the heavy road chalk, but sometimes the public is correct, and in this case they surely are. Until next week once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
