Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our school football selections on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and that I will deviate to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will probably 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 sport of NCAA soccer featuring one of the very best teams in the country, plus a mythical soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a wager about the Steelers while I supported the Titans. We have been placing wins on and back so it appears like its my turn to the wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will accompany all the squares laying the heavy lumber on a public road favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days prior to this Monday night event, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point on the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered in a solid -20 across the board at all of the very best internet sportsbooks.
I enjoy the Irish but youre currently leaning in this season-opening clash on the Cardinals. Besides the venue do you think Louisville can hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup Swinger, IMO and at least a convincing triumph, said a great deal about the Steelers and Titans management. Let us move ahead to real football, where the matches rely and will our records on this one.
Remember Louisville used to play against big-name competitions? They more than held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games and the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
But just like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out win games and to change the culture and worked miracles at Appalachian State. This will not happen right away as the talent level is down in theVille. Yet , this is a time for Louisville, a team that has the chance.
Ive read where the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall because the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the defense which makes me more worried. Why you have your Irish up, please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much flying in this game since the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest. Scott Satterfield is now in the big leagues and hes got a group coming off of a dismal 2-10 record this past year, where they went winless in ACC action. This rebuild is akin to trying to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and taking a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is facing a team that made it into the CFP last year and possessed one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders also, averaging 33 points per match over.
So, my question is, just how can be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to release, supposed to obtain some traction against a swarming Irish shield? Particularly when he is working with an offensive scheme that is entirely new and a new coach?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to have the ability to keep pace with this Golden Domers and Im desperate to handicapping experience that is prodigious and the ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to see in your last sentence you are coming around to the glowing side of sports gambling, or youre simply being the exact wise a** you are. Ill allow the SBR readers that are making school football selections decide on that. I am the first to realize Louisville was not just 2-10, however 1-11 ATS and sucked final year.
Like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons, However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new mindset is brought by A coach and this being a national game, Satterfield will market his team. Louisville does have to trust they will not be taken by the Irish and not have much fight.
Lets 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 may improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, even if you dont/cant amuse like Clemson or Bama, it will take time.
I was becoming a bit facetious because though youve got an impressive handicapping resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, because Louisville might be better but I would submit that they are coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable document left by an equally awkward trainer like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that placing nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the people is right, and also in this instance they certainly are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week next week, let us see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
