Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and I shall detract to dip our toes and render our college football picks.
It will almost certainly 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 game of NCAA soccer comprising one of the very best clubs in the nation, and a mythical football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a wager about the Steelers while I supported the Titans. We have been swapping wins forth and back so it looks like its my turn for the wreath, as I will follow the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a road favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days before the Monday night affair, I see the line has spiked a half-point on the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its now offered in a solid -20 across the board at all of the very best online sportsbooks.
Youre currently leaning to the Cardinals although I enjoy the Irish. Besides the place do you think Louisville could hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup , Swinger, and a convincing win IMO, said a lot about the Steelers and Titans management. Let us move ahead to real football, in which the games count and will our records on this one.
Recall all those Thursday night games Louisville used to play against opponents? They held their engineered and own several upsets. These were fun games and the Cardinals were an golf club.
However, for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders at Appalachian State and will be out to alter the civilization and win games. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a huge time for Louisville, a team that has the chance.
I have read in which the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall since the direct running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the protection, well, which makes me more worried. Why you have your Irish up, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest, flying into this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a team coming off of a dismal record this past year, where they went winless in ACC activity. This rebuild is akin to taking a hot air balloon and seeking to turn it in an F-22 Raptor.
While that may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a group 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 within the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders as well, averaging 33 points per match over.
My issue is, how will be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to discharge, supposed to get any traction against a defense that is Irish? Particularly when hes working with a new coach and an offensive scheme that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville will have the ability to keep pace with this Golden Domers and Im desperate to handicapping experience and your brand new wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to read in your last sentence youre coming around to the sunny side of sports gambling, or youre just being the identical wise a** you usually are. Ill let the SBR readers that are currently making this is decided on by college football picks. Im the first to realize Louisville completely sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 last year.
However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons. A trainer brings a fresh mindset and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on creating a statement with this being a match. Louisville does need to hope never and the Irish will take them have a lot of fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly with gold and the blue is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS if dishing out more or 20 digits. This defense you mentioned might improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, when you dont/cant recruit like Clemson or Bama, it is going to take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because although you have an impressive handicapping restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, because Louisville could be better but I would submit that they are coached with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their record left by an coach like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the road is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but on occasion the general public is correct, and in this instance they definitely are. Until when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week next week, let us see what happens on Monday once the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
