Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our college football picks and then I will detract to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will almost certainly be the very first and only time this year we do this, as the previous week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season sport of NCAA soccer featuring one of the top clubs in the nation, and a legendary soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while I supported the Titans. Weve been placing wins back and forth so it appears like its my turn for the wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will accompany each of the squares putting the thick lumber onto a road favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days prior to the Monday night affair, I see the line has spiked a half-point on the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered at a solid -20 throughout the board at all the best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I love the Irish but youre leaning in this season-opening battle on the Cardinals. Other than the venue do you believe Louisville could hang with the boys in South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup , Swinger, and a win IMO, said a lot about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Let us move ahead to football, so will our recordings on this one and where the matches count.
Remember Louisville utilized to play against big-name opponents? They held their own and engineered many upsets. These were enjoyable games to see and also the Cardinals were an exciting club.
However, for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its counterfeit (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out to alter the civilization and win games and worked miracles. This wont happen right away as the talent level is down from theVille. This is a big time for Louisville, a team which has the chance to start taking actions in the ideal direction.
I have read where the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall as the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the shield that makes me more worried. You have up your Irish, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing flying into this match since the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a group coming off of a dismal album this past year, where they went winless. This rebuild is comparable to seeking to turn it in an F-22 Raptor and carrying a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a group that made it into the CFP last year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per match.
My question is, just how will be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to release, designed to get any traction against a swarming shield? Particularly when he is working with an offensive strategy that is entirely new and a coach?
Please, Doug, save 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, I am pleased to see in your last sentence youre coming on to the sunny side of sports gambling, or you are just being the same wise a** you are. Ill allow the SBR readers that are currently making school football picks decide on this. Im the first to understand Louisville was, but 1-11 ATS and sucked last year.
Just like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that team COMPLETELY. A coach brings a new attitude on building a statement and this being a match, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to hope they will not be taken by the Irish and not have much fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly using gold and all the blue is ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS, if dishing out 20 or more digits. This defense you said may improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, when you dont/cant recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it is going to take time.
I was being a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, because Louisville might be better compared to last year but I would submit that they could be coached by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their document left by an awkward trainer such as Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the street is square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but at times the general public is right, and in this situation they surely are. Until when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week next week, lets see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
