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 then render our college football picks.
It will almost certainly be the very first and only time this season we do this, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season sport of NCAA football comprising one of the greatest clubs in the country, and a mythical soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while the Titans were endorsed by me. We have been placing wins on and back so it looks like its my turn to get the gold wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will follow all the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a public street favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days ahead of this Monday night affair, I see that the line has spiked a half-point on the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered in a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever the best online sportsbooks.
Youre currently leaning to the Cardinals within this season-opening clash although doug, I love the Irish. Besides the venue, why is it that you believe Louisville will hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup , Swinger, at least and a triumph IMO, it said a lot about the Steelers and Titans management. Lets move to real football, so will our recordings on this one and where the games rely.
Remember Louisville utilized to play against opponents? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games and the Cardinals were an club.
But such as the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its counterfeit (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders at Appalachian State and are out to change the culture and win games. This will not happen right away as the talent level is down from theVille. This is a big time for Louisville, a group which has the opportunity.
Ive read in which the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall since the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the protection that makes me more nervous. Please do tell why youve got your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much flying into this match as 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 record this past year, where they went winless in ACC action. This rebuild is comparable to taking a hot air balloon and seeking to turn it into an F-22 Raptor.
While this may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a team that made it into the CFP this past 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 fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders averaging 33 points per game over.
My question is, just how is a quarterback like traveling whos slow to release, supposed to get some traction against a swarming defense that is Irish? Especially when he is working with an entirely new offensive strategy and a new coach?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep pace and Im desperate to handicapping expertise that is prodigious and your ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to read in your last sentence youre coming over to the bright side of sport gambling, or you are just being the exact shrewd a** you usually are. I will let the SBR readers that are making that is decided on by school football picks. I am the first to realize Louisville sucked and wasnt only 2-10, however 1-11 ATS final year.
Like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that staff COMPLETELY. A new attitude is brought by A trainer and this being a match, Satterfield will sell his team on making a statement. Louisville does need to hope never and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly with gold and all the blue is ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS, when dishing out 20 or more digits. That defense you said may improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, even whenever you dont/cant recruit like Clemson or Bama, it is going to take some time.
I was being a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this instance, because Louisville might be greater than last year but I would submit that they could be coached by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their record left by an awkward trainer like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the street would be square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but on occasion the public is right, and in this situation they certainly are. Until next week once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday when the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
