Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and I shall detract to dip our toes and render our college football picks on the Monday night match between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals.
It will almost certainly be the very first and only time this season we do so, as the previous week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season game of NCAA soccer featuring one of the very best clubs in the nation, and a mythical football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while the Titans were endorsed by me. We have been placing wins on and back so it appears like it is my turn to the golden wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will follow all the squares laying the heavy lumber on a public road favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days ahead of this Monday night event, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point about the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered at a solid -20 round the board at all of the very best internet sportsbooks.
You are currently leaning on the Cardinals within this clash although doug, I like the Irish. Other than the venue, why do you believe Louisville could hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yes a triumph and IMO, said a great deal about the management of both the Steelers and Titans. Lets move ahead to real football, so will our records with this one and in which the games count.
Remember those Thursday night matches Louisville used to play against competitions that are big-name? They more than held their engineered and own many upsets. These were fun games to watch and also the Cardinals were a thrilling club.
But just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles and will be out to change the civilization and win games. This will not happen right away as the talent level is down from theVille. This is a major moment for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity.
I have read in which the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall as the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the shield, well, which makes me more nervous. You have up your Irish please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest, flying in this match. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and he has a team coming off of a dismal 2-10 record in which they went winless in ACC activity this past year. This rebuild is comparable to carrying a hot air balloon and seeking to turn it.
While this may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is facing a group which made it into the CFP last year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging 33 points per game over.
My query is, how will be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to release, designed to get any traction against a swarming shield? Particularly when he is working with an offensive scheme that is entirely new and a new trainer?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to be able to keep pace and Im desperate for handicapping experience that is prodigious and the sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to see in your last sentence youre coming around to the bright side of sports gambling, or you are just being the same wise a** you are. I will let the SBR readers that are currently making that is decided on by college football picks. I am the first to realize Louisville completely sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 last season.
Just like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons but coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that team COMPLETELY. A new coach brings a new attitude and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on making a statement, this being a national match. Louisville does have to trust they will not be taken by the Irish for granted and never have much fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly with gold and the blue is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS, when dishing out more or 20 digits. That defense you said may improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, even whenever you dont/can not amuse like Clemson or Bama, it is going to take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because though you have an impressive handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this instance, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville could be better but I would submit that they could be coached by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their record left by an equally awkward coach such as Petrino.
I understand that placing nearly three touchdowns on the street would be square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the public is correct, and also in this instance they definitely are. Until next week once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday once the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
